East West Ministry of Rock 2 v1 0 5 (EAST WEST PLAY)


“Ministry Of Rock 2” was created with one goal: to create a virtual (software) instrument capable of play sounds that could actually create a hit record or film score without any live drums, bass or guitar overdubs  The articulations and programming have been reworked based on real performances  The 57 GB collection is equipped with LIVE technology, which allows multisampled drums to sound like a live performance
Produced by Nick Phoenix and recorded by Phoenix, Doug Rogers and Rhys Moody at Legendary EASTWEST Studios, Ministry Of Rock 2 features some of the industry’s top performers such as Shane Gibson, KoRn/Stork/Schwarzenator guitarist; Greg Suran, guitarist for Goo Goo Dolls/Avril Lavigne/Glee; Doug Rappaport, Edgar Winter/Potent guitarist; and Tal Bergman, drummer for Billy Idol, LL Cool J, Rod Stewart, Terence Trent Darby, Joe Zawinul
Drums for Ministry Of Rock 2 were recorded at EASTWEST Studio 1 on three large rock kits from DW, Gretsch and Ludwig along with 6 additional snare drums  The best vintage and modern equipment from Neve, Neumann, Telefunken, AKG, Manley, Fairchild, Royer, Chandler and Meitner was used to create the legendary sound  Repeated samples were recorded for everything, as well as extreme dynamics and three drum mic positions (close + room or close + compressed room) to get the desired sound and ultra-realistic performance  Any drum from any kit can be selected to create a custom kit, and there are 6 additional snare drums to choose from
Ministry Of Rock 2 guitars were recorded on Fender Jaguar, Fender Telecaster Thinline, Carvin 7 String, Baritone, Gibson Les Paul and Schecter 7 String through Fender, Divided By Thirteen, Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Bogner and Vox Amps  The samples use a circular system, hammer and tear legato, sliding legato and dozens of other techniques  Two-channel recordings allow you to choose the cool sound of a real amplifier or use a direct signal with popular plug-ins
Ministry of Rock 2 also includes all of the updated content from the Hardcore Bass and Hardcore Bass XP, as well as the all-new Musicman Stingray 5-string bass with 7,000 samples and true legato  Fender, Hofner, Gibson, Silvertone, Rickenbacker, Musicman and Lakland basses have been recorded with large bass kits Additional InformationTOOLS
