#5 on demand loading made Opus an order of magnitude more useable for bigger projects compared to Play. All 10 features are fantastic, it is definitely worth the upgrade. I have several other libraries and Opus stands apart from the crowd for sound, usability, and stability. I play orchestral scores for a hobby, there are a few examples on my channel. Thanks for the video and thanks EastWest for a wonderful product!

Fantastic video - a great reminder about creating Macros to combine CC1 and CC11, totally missed this feature

I'm late to the party looks great. You guys are the best long time EW/Soundsonline user. I like your concise video format.

Hello Ryan,
can we use all the libraries in East West with Opus, or is it reserved for a specific selection?

I own (under PLAY) EW Platinium Plus, Goliath, MOR 1, SD2, Gypsy, VOP,
and RA and Symphonic of Choirs with the .NKC patches that i use with Kontakt.

Thanks

You're amazing, It would be great if you could add plugins like delays, compressors, tape emulation and stuff

Excellent presentation, really liked the short piano demo!

Any chance the ability for users to program their own microtuning will be enabled in Opus? And can EastWest provide documentation about the included microtunings so that composers can match other instruments to them? For example, by how many cents are notes adjusted in the "Afro 1" or "Arabic Common" tunings?

What's good! I own EastWest Libraries since 2010...is it possible to just download the OPUS player and load the libraries? Thanks!

Are y'all ever going to sell just the word builder that others can use to "create" singers from anyone that'll give them the phonetics in audio.. That you can cut and paste that audio into the builder? That would be really cool!

I love Opus, I love East West. Thank you guys!

The 11th reason is having Ryan as your instructor

Is there a place to find all the correct track delay values for each articulation for Opus Orchestra?

[frattuncbas]

Opus needs own detailed midi interface, for internal one channel and making all of articulations, attacks, velocity and etc..maybe in every notas we have to choose our preset sound or something like this..Ezkeys and ezbass is very good about their own internal midi interface and skills..If Opus does it, no one can kill this library.

How do you get Opus? Can you use it with the ComposerX plan?

[Sam-xqxh]

i keep getting an error notification when trying to download individual sounds. Any tips on where to set downloads or what to do to prevent this?

[frattuncbas]

Opus is now for 398 dollars.When you buy it without subscription which banks we will "not" have? I couldnt find any information about this on their website.

🎹 Is opus optimized for M1 Silicon chips?🤔

[JoelBrandonMedia]

Are moods essentially EQ? Or also mic positions?
