Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond is an orchestral virtual instrument from EastWest Sounds. It adds over 130GB of new recordings, reimagined sections and solo instruments, and the Hollywood Orchestrator, built on the new OPUS engine.
Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition Diamond is the Diamond release of the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition line from EastWest Sounds. EastWest describes the series as its best-selling and most awarded orchestral virtual instrument. This edition expands the library with new recordings and reimagined original content, and it adds the Hollywood Orchestrator for building orchestral cues. The plugin is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats on Windows and macOS.
The Diamond edition adds more than 130GB of newly recorded material, bringing the total library size to 944GB. Original content for all sections and solo instruments has been reimagined, so the orchestra is not limited to the earlier recordings.
All sections and solo instruments are included, which gives composers one place to draw orchestral textures from, whether they need full ensemble writing or a single featured line.
The new interfaces change color depending on the MOOD selected, giving a quick visual cue for the current setting. The developer says the new features and effects are powered by the OPUS engine, which is the foundation for the edition's added processing.
The Hollywood Orchestrator is included as a composition tool for building soundtrack-style arrangements, and EastWest presents it as a way to get to a cinematic sound quickly.
