To expand your sound palette, you can add additional ROM Soundblocks to your V.A.S.T. Series instrument. These ROM blocks add a large, unique collection of instantly available sounds to the permanent internal sound memory.
The Orchestral ROM Soundblock contains superb orchestral samples plus layers/splits/combinations and synth programs based on orchestral samples. The Orchestral soundblock provides 8 MB of sounds, including 100 new programs and 50 new setups.
Sounds in the Orchestral ROM Soundblock include Ensemble Strings; Solo Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass; Woodwinds; Brass; Percussion; and Plucked Strings. Orchestral sounds are available as realistic instrumental samples, layers, splits, combinations, sections, or synth programs.
The ROM block also comes with a Program Farm, a disk with hundreds of extra programs that utilize the new samples added with the soundblock.
