East West introduced Colossus, a high-end GM-compatible sound library, at the 2005 Winter NAMM show.

Colossus is a massive 32-gigabyte virtual instrument that includes all of the instruments and SFX in the GM specification, and more. Recorded by Quantum Leap producer Nick Phoenix and multiple Prof. Keith O. Johnson, Colossus includes 15 gigabytes of new sounds, a new 2 gig piano, and 15 gigs of sounds from the range of Quantum Leap and EastWest titles.

A hardware rack-mount version of Colossus called Colossus Live will follow the software release.
