EastWest/Quantum Leap Colossus is a Kompakt based General MIDI (GM) compatible 32GB virtual instrument that covers all of the basic musical genres, the way a keyboard workstation attempts to, except Colossus offers much higher quality instruments and dynamics than any keyboard available today.

Colossus includes 15 Gigs of new sounds recorded at Ocean Way Studio B (24-bit), a new 2 Gig piano recorded in Europe, and 15 Gigs from the range of Quantum Leap and EastWest titles, all newly programmed with exceptional sound quality due to the features and improved audio quality of the included Native Instruments Kompakt player.

Programming is kept very simple, and programs that utilize the mod-wheel are labeled appropriately. All programs have CC11 as an additional volume control. Many programs utilize auto sample alternation for added realism.
