Critic Reviews

East West/Quantum Leap Goliath review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

An impressive array of over 180 instruments and a robust 40GB sound library make Goliath a powerhouse for composers and producers. The intuitive Play engine enhances usability, allowing for high-performance playback and seamless integration into modern setups. However, be prepared to invest in extra hard drive space, as the software demands it, and its editing tools could be more expansive. For those seeking deep sound manipulation, Goliath's limitations might frustrate, but it excels in delivering high-quality sounds for songwriting and film scoring. Overall, a solid choice for serious music makers.

EastWest's Quantum Leap Goliath offers a substantial library of sounds, featuring a sleek, user-friendly interface and unique instrument selections. However, it falls short in expressiveness and fine-tuning capabilities compared to competitors like Kontakt 3, and its higher price point may deter potential buyers. While Goliath provides excellent value for those seeking variety in a single package, navigating its sampler can be cumbersome, and performance demands may strain your system. Overall, it's a solid choice but not without its compromises.

Best of EastWest and Colossus' Modern Sucessor

As someone who actually used its predecessor, Colossus, I'm really happy to see this retained all its new samples (It's good EastWest didn't abandon these) but now its in a more convenient standalone player with a fresh coat of paint. Goliath ALSO includes a collection of newer content from various EastWest products, so you don't have to waste drive space on a library you don't use often enough because this has the essentials.

The worst samples in this library are the synths but nobody actually gets a composercloud subscription or buys eastwest products for the synth, so they thought they could afford to overlook and repackage the same crappy synths from colossus (and they were right to think so), would have been nice if they had at least rerecorded them but I'm like 100% sure its the same samples repackaged. Avoid. At. All. Costs.

In Adrian von Zielger's 2020 Q&A video, he confirms at 1:01:36 his primary sample libraries. EWQL Goliath serves as the backbone to a lot of his compositions. He uses patches such as "Mens Choir ah MOD" and "Mens Choir Shouts" through tracks such as Wolf Blood. He also uses the strings, horns and likely many other patches from this library.
