Q Up Arts is a sample library and virtual instrument developer based in California, founded in 1993 by Douglas Morton after his work on the Universe of Sounds collections for the E-mu Emulator II and III. The company has spent three decades producing professional sound content for Kontakt, Apple Logic Sampler, and WAV/REX/AIFF, with additional libraries made for the Korg Kronos workstation.

The catalog leans heavily toward orchestral, world, vintage, and specialty content, with long-running series such as Voices of Native America, Voices of the Aztecs, Voices of Istanbul, Voices of India – Sitar Play, and Voices of Healing. Bundles like the Kontakt Producers Collection and the 30th-anniversary Heavy Hitters Greatest Hits compile titles spanning ethnic instruments, choirs, drums, synths, and keys. The libraries are aimed at composers working in film, television, games, and record production.

Q Up Arts is often cited as one of the early developers who helped establish the modern sample-library category, predating and influencing later companies in the cinematic and world-instrument space.
