The EastWest Ghostwriter virtual instrument was created with the brilliant Steven Wilson, of Porcupine Tree and solo artistry fame. The goal was to create sounds that warp and combine sounds in ways never heard before, to bring you a unique set of instruments, effects, and soundscapes to inspire your creativity. With over 60GB of morphed and mutated guitars, basses, drums, keyboards, vocals, and ethnic instruments, Ghostwriter is the kind of virtual instrument Sweetwater can recommend to any producer or composer looking for new sounds and textures to experiment with.
