Advanced PLAY sample engine and intuitive control

RA is powered by EastWest's advanced PLAY sample engine to deliver an authentic and deeply expressive musical experience. This intelligent engine incorporates sensing technology that closely monitors your playing style and dynamically adjusts the software and sound accordingly.

This allows for an unprecedented level of detail, giving your projects incredible breadth and emotion. The PLAY engine is 64-bit capable, so you can load more instruments and voices without being limited by your system's RAM capacity.

It offers a clean interface that shows only the controls you need for each instrument collection. This intuitive design streamlines your workflow and lets you focus on your creativity.

Superior sound quality and unique ensemble recording Experience RA's exceptional sound quality, recorded with eight microphones with high phase accuracy. This meticulous recording process builds a perfect three-dimensional image of each instrument, ensuring clarity and spaciousness.

To achieve this pure audio fidelity, premium microphones such as Neumann U67 (with U47 replacement), Neumann M50, AKG C12 and Shoepps were used, making the sound extremely responsive to artificial and sampled reverbs.

What makes RA unique is its meticulously recorded ethnic instrument ensembles, including African drums, bagpipes, gamelan, and Middle Eastern string sections. These ensemble recordings add unparalleled authenticity to your tracks, providing a realism that can't be replicated by simply layering solo instruments.
