VSTBuzz has announced that, for a limited time, is offering 63% off Silk, an ethnic instrument library by East West/Quantum Leap.
Silk is one of the best ethnic instrument libraries you can buy, containing pretty much every far eastern bowed/plucked string and brass/wind instrument that you’ll ever need in your compositions.
Featuring amazing and unique multi-sampled performances by masters of their instruments, this is a must have compositional tool for serious composers!
