Until October 31, 2010, EastWest will be offering its Rocktober Pack -- a collection of your choice of EastWest / Quantum Leap virtual instruments grouped together with a major discount (53 percent off their individual retail prices).

The standard edition ($595) of the Rocktober Pack includes Ministry of Rock, Goliath, and Fab Four. If you already have one or more of the instruments in this edition, you can replace the virtual instruments with other EastWest / Quantum Leap ones that you don't have. Changing out the standard edition instruments does not affect the 53 percent discount -- the Rocktober Pack special will still provide the virtual instruments at over half off the list price. Adding pricier instruments to the pack, however, might make the overall pack cost more than the standard edition's price of $595.

Ministry of Rock is a comprehensive, modern day rock toolkit that covers myriad styles (mostly the loud, cacophonous ones) ideal for songwriters and composers. Think rock 'n' roll, not pop rock.

The Goliath virtual instrument includes over 180 instruments and more than 600 patches. As the "Swiss army knife of songwriting / composing" tools, Goliath features drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, pianos, orchestra, choir / vocals, and much more.

Inspired by the unforgettable sounds of the Beatles, the Fab Four instrument includes authentic and rare acoustic and electric guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, stringed, and other instruments, all played through and recorded on the same kind of vintage equipment used at Abbey Road Studios by Beatles engineer Ken Scott and EastWest producer Doug Rogers.

The Rocktober Pack can be customized to suit your needs. Eligible Rocktober Pack products are EastWest or Quantum Leap virtual instruments from the following list: Ministry Of Rock, Goliath, Fab Four, Pianos, Gypsy, Ra, Silk, Symphonic Choirs, Symphonic Choirs Bundle, Symphonic Orchestra, Stormdrum 2, Stormdrum Pro Bundle, and Voices of Passion. Choose the standard edition of Ministry of Rock, Goliath, and Fab Four, or any combination of three virtual instruments from the aforementioned list.

EastWest's Rocktober Pack will only be available until October 31, 2010. For those who celebrate Halloween, this offer is definitely a treat, not a trick.
