For a limited time, those who purchase the EastWest TeraPack can test drive the entire EastWest / Quantum Leap virtual instrument collection and then receive 50 percent off most full licenses.

The TeraPack puts the company's many virtual instruments on a terabyte hard drive with 10-day trial versions of all products. This new release makes it easy to demo the entire product line on your own system without having to install any samples. If you decide you like certain instruments and want to continue using the full versions, you can buy full licenses of most of the TeraPack's included products for half off the suggested retail price until September 30, 2010.

Trial licenses for all EastWest / Quantum Leap products are included, except Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus (however, Platinum 24-bit samples are included). The TeraPack even includes new releases like Hollywood Strings and The Dark Side, which unfortunately cannot be purchased at a discount later (for the full license). The trials are complete versions and include all instruments and samples, and they will work for 10 days from the time of activation of the individual collection. Full licenses of any product can then be purchased from EastWest or here for permanent use.

The TeraPack is supplied on a Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0 GB / 3.5-inch internal hard drive with a 5-year warranty for optimum performance. Both trial and full licenses can be run directly from the drive, saving installation time and space.

This new trial pack includes the following instrument collections: Hollywood Strings, The Dark Side, Symphonic Orchestra Platinum, Symphonic Choirs, Symphonic Choirs Expansion, Quantum Leap Pianos, Stormdrum 2 and SD2 Pro Upgrade, Voices of Passion, Ministry of Rock, Fab Four, Goliath, Silk, Ra, and Gypsy.

Available for both Macs and PCs, the TeraPack is compatible with all major DAW platforms and requires a separate iLok key for operation. It's available in limited quantities for $129 (MSRP).
