Gypsy Black Friday pricing from EastWest Sounds is 60% off, which puts this 11 GB virtual instrument collection at $59 until Jan 17, 2027.
Gypsy is a set of Gypsy-style virtual instruments that EastWest/Quantum Leap built for realistic performances. The maker pitches it at film, TV and game composers.
The collection was created by sound producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix.
The samples span violin, trombone, several guitars, accordions and more. Here is the lineup the maker describes:
The guitars were played by David Kole, a Los Angeles session guitarist. The maker calls him one of the best in the city.
The violin and trombone carry many articulations and repetitions, plus true legato intervals. The violin also has fast and slow true legato slides.
The maker calls the violin the new king of sampled violins. It also says the nylon guitar, violin and trombone are unparalleled in sampling for playability, diversity and sound quality when used in a classical setting.
That is a marketing claim, so treat it as the maker's opinion.
The guitars include release trails, chords and effects on top of the stroke and velocity layers. That gives you strummed and picked parts without layering extra sources.
The accordions come with air flow in and out samples, expressive samples, chords and left hand bass. The foot stomps and castanets from the flamenco dancers sit alongside the traditional percussion.
The maker also says Gypsy ships preloaded with settings meant to work out of the box. The aim is to cut time spent tweaking and mixing, so you can get to writing parts sooner.
If you score folk, dance or period scenes, the bandoneon and cimbalom are the two rare instruments in the pack.
