EastWest/Quantum Leap have announced the forthcoming release of their latest Kompakt based sample library/sound module - Symphonic Choirs - scheduled for release on February 28th, 2005 at an MSRP of US$995.

Symphonic Choirs was recorded in the same concert hall, with the same team of engineers and producers as EastWest/Quantum Leap's Symphonic Orchestra. It is apparently the first 24-bit Choir sample library to include three simultaneous stereo mic setups (close, stage and hall), so users can mix together any combination of mic positions to control tone and ambience. The collection was designed to blend perfectly with EWQLSO.
