Packed with over 500 customisable presets, EastWest Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition allows you to unlock the sound of your favourite A-list composers in seconds.

At the heart of the Opus Orchestra is the innovative Scoring Engine. Here, you can craft everything from basic string arrangements to complex compositions with exciting melodies. This is where you can create new presets or alter any existing preset by changing the melodic pattern in each step sequencer or by completely switching the instruments and voicings of that preset. In the Mixer section, refine the final output of each instrument by adjusting the volume, pan, equalization, reverb preset, reverb send amounts, and other reverb controls like pre-delay, length, and filters.
