While 'Colossus' might have a number of meanings, it's a pretty safe bet that East West are referring to size as much as sound, given that the samples arrive on a total of eight DVDs and require approximately 32GB of hard drive space for full installation! While a fixed front-end has both pros and cons for the user, one key advantage for the developer is that it offers some degree of copy protection - the samples can only be accessed via the bundled Kompakt (or via the full versions of NI's software-sampler applications) and on-line registration is required via the NI web site, preventing more unscrupulous users from passing the library around their local recording community. East West/Quantum Leap's Colossus is supplied with Kompakt as its playback engine, which is identical to the version of Kompakt included with, reviewed in SOS February. Size, however, isn't everything - or is it? As shown by reviews of recent products from both East West and Zero G, custom versions of NI's Intakt and Kompakt are becoming popular choices for developers as the virtual-instrument 'front end' for their sample libraries. Like Ronseal products, Quantum Leap's Colossus is pretty much as it's described on its container, offering the user a vast 32GB sample collection supplied on eight DVD-ROMs. Kompakt's user interface maintains its East West cool blue colour scheme.
