EastWest Ancient Bundle + Spaces II FREE

The EastWest Ancient Bundle brings together four of the most respected world and ancient instrument collections ever produced, all running inside the modern EastWest Opus engine. Whether you score for film, television, video games, or you simply want to expand your sonic palette with authentic global textures, this collection gives you a deep, ready-to-play toolkit at a fraction of its usual price. Produced by award-winning sound designers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix, these libraries have found a home in the studios of working composers around the world.

Ancient Kingdom: Rare Wind Instruments From Forgotten Realms

Ancient Kingdom captures world-renowned recording artist Saulius Petreikis performing a rare selection of wind instruments gathered from across the globe. With 345 instruments spread across 26 categories, you can move from the warm, soulful cry of the Armenian duduk to the bold, commanding blast of a Viking war horn. Four groundbreaking effects signal paths sit alongside pristine multi-mic recordings, letting you add edge to a traditional cue or build fully experimental soundscapes. A Mood section delivers instant preset changes, while deep articulation sets keep every performance expressive and alive.

RA: A Massive Collection of Instruments From Around the World

RA assembles world instruments from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, India, the Far East, the Americas, and Australia. It was built to preserve and recreate these sounds in pristine detail, giving you the freedom to either take full control or let each carefully recorded phrase play out naturally. Reach for the haunting duduk for lyrical and ambient passages, layer in the Middle Eastern string section, or build a groove from the didgeridoo and Vietnamese jaw harp. Egyptian and Indian micro-tuning presets help you stay authentic to the region you are scoring.

Silk: Instruments of the Silk Road

Silk delivers a large collection of bowed, plucked, and wind instruments from the lands of the Silk Road across China, India, and Persia. Each musician is a master of their instrument, recorded through vintage Neumann microphones at the legendary EastWest Studios. From the erhu, pipa, and guzheng to the duduk, nay, and bansuri, Silk includes live-recorded legato and full phrases so you can assemble a convincing ensemble in minutes. A pioneering micro-tuning system lets you adapt instruments to the key and scale of your choice.

Gypsy: Authentic Performances of a Travelling Ensemble

Gypsy gives you realistic, nuanced performances of the instruments found in a classic ensemble of travelling players. The nylon string guitar, violin, and trombone each play in both Gypsy and Classical styles, and in the classical realm these three instruments stand among the most playable and detailed in sampling. Multiple articulations, round robin playback, and true legato keep every passage breathing like a live take, making Gypsy a staple for film, television, and game composers.

Your Free Bonus: Spaces II Convolution Reverb

Every order of the Ancient Bundle includes a complimentary Spaces II license, a $299 value on its own. Spaces II is a 24-bit, true stereo convolution reverb with more than 1,020 impulse responses recorded in real acoustic environments worldwide, from concert halls and opera houses to churches, catacombs, train stations, and warehouses. Instrument-specific reverbs take the guesswork out of placement, while low CPU usage, true surround support, and an updated interface make it a genuine Swiss army knife for any genre. The current version adds VST3 support and native Apple Silicon compatibility.

One Engine, Every Format

All four libraries run inside the EastWest Opus engine and are available as Standalone, VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX for both Windows and Mac, so they slot straight into your existing workflow. Together with the free Spaces II reverb, the Ancient Bundle is one of the most complete world instrument toolkits you can own, and at $139 down from $697 it represents one of the strongest values EastWest has ever offered through APD.
