EastWest Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond expands on the award-winning Hollywood Orchestra virtual instrument by offering new, pristine recordings, reimagined original content, and powerful new features, all housed in the company's innovative OPUS sound-customization engine.

The software also includes Hollywood Orchestrator (with over 500 presets), a must-have scoring engine for composers of every skill level who want to create basic or complex orchestrations with that Hollywood blockbuster sound, right out of the box—perfect for soundtracks, orchestral scores, video-game music, or pop tracks.

The Diamond edition features a collection of 1807 instruments (solo violin and cello, orchestra strings, brass, woodwinds, and harp) with 944GB of 24-bit / 44.1 kHz samples and five microphone positions.

Providing the authentic Hollywood sound with a detailed set of orchestral instruments, the collection was produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, recipients of over 100 international industry awards, and recorded at EastWest Studio One by Academy-Award- and BAFTA-winner Shawn Murphy.

The software utilizes a dedicated Opus playback engine, which provides a searchable browser and the ability for users to customize their sounds. It is compatible with Mac and Windows. It runs as standalone software or operates in AU, VST3, or AAX formats.
