Q (as in, cue, or, if you prefer, as in the master spy's gadget man) contains nearly two thousand patches and 16GB of sample material including cinematic drums, percussion, winds, vocals, ethnic instruments, metallic textures, glass, guitar, toy, ambient atmospheres, synth landscapes, and trailer-ready effects.
The library includes both playable melodic pitched instruments and multisampled one-shot percussion and effects. A collection of epic percussion loops which sync to tempo and are playable both whole and by the slice, are also included.

Q’s interface provides one-click effecting of the library, including the famed EZRoom convolution, delay, chorus, filters, chorusing, flanging, and more. Other advanced functions include a special legato mode for melodic instruments, and crossfade controls for multilayered instruments.

Q is powered by the Kontakt 4 engine. It is compatible with VST, Audio Unit, and RTAS (Pro Tools 7 & 8) plug-in formats allowing it to work within major sequencers, in addition to standalone use on both an Intel Mac and PC…
