EastWest has launched a limited time promotion on the Silk virtual instrument as part of its Summer Blockbuster Sale. The library is available at a 70% discount, priced at $59 USD. The offer runs until May 17th, 2026.
Silk provides a collection of world instruments from the Silk Road regions of China, India, and Persia. These include bowed, plucked, and wind instruments performed by master musicians and recorded at EastWest Studios using vintage Neumann microphones. Produced by Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, the library covers a broad range of articulations, live-recorded legato, and full phrases.
The virtual instrument enables producers to integrate authentic ethnic sounds into their tracks, creating ensembles that evoke distant times and places. It supports quick assembly of realistic performances through its detailed sampling and playback engine.
Music producers and composers working on film scores, games, or world music projects would find Silk useful for adding cultural depth without needing live recordings. The extensive articulation set allows for expressive and nuanced playing styles.
This deal stands out because it significantly lowers the entry point to a premium EastWest library, which typically commands a higher price. Other EastWest titles are discounted up to 60% during the same sale.
Silk is on sale for $59 USD at the EastWest store and from distributors such as Plugin Boutique and AudioDeluxe.
