What it is

This EastWest bundle pairs Hollywood Strings 2, a 160GB orchestral string library with 134 individually sampled instruments, with Forbidden Planet, a synth library built around 600+ morphing presets covering pads, basses, drones, cinematic hits, and arpeggiated leads. Both run on EastWest's Opus sample-player engine and are built for hybrid scoring work that blends real orchestral texture with electronic sound design.

Who it's for

Film and trailer composers who need believable strings alongside atmospheric synth textures in one purchase, plus electronic producers and sound designers looking for cinematic pads and drones without programming them from scratch.
