GOLIATH

Description

Overview

EastWest Goliath is one of the most comprehensive sample libraries in existence, engineered to provide unlimited creative flexibility without the need to switch between multiple plugins. Created by award-winning producers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, this massive collection serves as a “Swiss Army knife” for media composers, songwriters, and producers who require a high-quality, diverse array of instruments within a single, streamlined interface.

The library features over 180 instruments spanning nearly every musical genre, from orchestral and ethnic sounds to modern synth pads and studio percussion. To further enhance sonic creativity, Goliath includes the SSL/EW Global FX Suite, Ohmicide multi-band distortion, and the EW Amp Simulator. Because these effects process real instrument samples rather than oscillators, the results are uniquely organic and ideal for professional film, television, and game scoring.
