East West Orchestra Sound Libraries Instrument REGISTRATION TOOL

Hello.
I switched to Intel Mac and have a huge problem running my VST Instrument Plugins because I can't REGISTER them on my new machine!
East WEst uses a REGISTRATION TOOL for each library, I have Orchestra Gold , Stormdrum and GARRITAN Personal Orchestra, another one with similar tool
These TOOLS don't launch.
Anyone have a work around???
I can't re register them so I can use them, it's driving me nuts.
I should have kept my Old G5 for music production. :/
thanks

Hi John,
I'm in the same boat, unable to use play as a plugin in mac os x 10.6.5
I had a HD Crash and had to reinstall everything.
The Mac Service people updated the OSX and and now all the EastWest Complete Composer Collection does not open , saying the same thing:
Play could not load /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Play Libraries/EWQL Orchestra Library/Gold Instruments/Gold Strings/18 Violins/5 Keysw/../../../../Gold Samples/Gold Strings/18 Violins/18 V F/V18svF F/V18svF55 F.ews.
Something is going on with EastWest.
I'm now going back to Mac Osx 10.6 as it worked fine on this version
I'll keep you posted

  • Can't find sound libraries in AU instruments?

    I was doing so well. I installed east West and they showed up and I could pull them into a logic project.
    Then I installed Omnisphere and could use them also. Then I installed Komplete 5 by Native Instruments and now all that shows up is Apple and native Instruments.
    All of these sound libraries are stored on an external drive.
    Anybody know how to have Omni and East West appear again?
    Scott

    That's a lot of stuff, & although that isn't a problem in itself, each of those have been known to cause problems on their own. So this could take a bit of working out… it would help if you could give us all possible details about your system.
    Then you could Refresh your Library +(Media button > Library > Refresh Library).+
    And check in EXS24 to see if they do turn up.
    Then there's your external hard drive — have you ever formatted it since you bought it? If not, it's probably formatted for Windows. +Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility+ — you need to use +Mac OS Extended.+
    This discussion deals with where things can be put & where they can subsequently be moved: [Make Room!|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2026399&tstart=0]
    Also note that some libraries for multiple formats only have one set of samples, which will be in a different folder from the EXS24 files, so you will need to locate all the relevant folders…

  • I am trying to use East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra with Garageband '11 and East West isn't showing up on the Audio Unit Modules List. Help?

    I am trying to use East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra with Garageband '11 and East West isn't showing up on the Audio Unit Modules List. Help?

    Not sure what to say. Have the free version, installed it and GB found it. Perhaps contact East West support if you have a paid version...

  • General question about sound libraries and instruments in Logic

    Hello all...
    I am possibly looking to upgrade from Logic Express 8 to Logic Pro, mostly to take advantage of the vast sound library's and software instruments. My question is to those who are familiar with the sounds, vintage instruments etc. I have a Nord Stage piano with incredible acoustic and electric piano samples...I'm thinking of selling my Nord but I don't want to lose the incredible instrument recreations...can the sounds in Logic Pro compete with the real thing for trained ears?

    I see this type of question all the time.
    It doesn't matter.
    When someone listens to your song it doesn't matter what type of instrument you use, real or not.
    If the melody isn't there, no one is going to remember your song.
    You know when you get the song right when people hum it while walking, taking the bus, etc...
    What they don't talk about is, hey, Sweetsonic used a pretty good Nord on that one song....
    Buy Logic 8 cause the massive amount of instruments you get with it will help you explore other instruments, which can lead to a creative song.
    Look at the Beatles, when George Harrison experimented with the Sitar, they got more classic songs.

  • Peter Siedlaczeks String Essentials or East West Symphonic on Intel Macs

    Best Service have advised me to buy Kontakt 2 in order to use String Essentials on my new Intel laptop and I notice there is no update available for the East West Symphonic.
    Can anyone inform me of the processes involved in runing these sound libraries within Kontakt before I spend £160 on the crossgrade?

    Yep, I understand...
    This is the final news I needed to get to complete my answer... I confronted myself the italian store and the US one and in the US one I didn't find this product...
    As for the NI software, was so good that I just bought back my good "old" iMac G5 and will exchange it with this my Intel Mac. The G5 2 Ghz was good, performing as this new Intel (at times I even got the impression was more performing, but I believe is just an impression) and surely didn't have so many 3rd parties problems.
    Meanwhile I filled every forum of NI and USB with my questions about the compatibility... and maybe I will be back to an Intel Mac when all would be OK, I'm not in a hurry!
    By the way I had a listen to your work: GREAT!
    You may hear a sketch version of something we did work on with the NI piano and choir sounds, while the alto sax is played live and the other instruments are from Apple or real keys (yes, we mix a lot of things):
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    while here is a track where we did use both the Orchestral sounds of Garageband (and some of it's loops, mixed with some good old programming) together with some NI sound:
    http://www.garageband.com/song?
    We do not often use orchestra if not as here and there (other than in some work as this last one, but is not so frequent). Hope you may like our little works!

  • Linking East West Samples w/ Logic?

    I have the East West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Edition, and would like to use these sounds in Logic Pro 8. How do I do this?
    I've heard that I may have to purchase Kontakt or the full version of Kompakt in order to make this work. Is that true?
    Thanks-

    The East West Libraries, such as Platinum, do not work with the included sample player on Intel machines, such as your Mac Book. You would need to get the latest version of the Kontakt sampler, which will read the East West samples. The good news is, as a registered owner of Platinum, you can buy Kontakt at a discounted price.
    The possible better news is, East West just released "PLAY" for the platinum orchestra, which is their new sample player for Intel machines, and you will probably be able to upgrade for very little money, especially if you just purchased Platinum recently.

  • East West Keyswitches off by 1 octave in Logic Pro X

    I am using East West Symphonic Orchestra Platinum Plus, Play, and Logic Pro X. The keyswitch notes indicated in the East West manual are one octave lower than the notes that actually trigger the articulations in Logic Pro. For example, the solo violin master keyswitch instrument lists the F0 key as the keyswitch for the half step trill articulation. However, in Logic Pro, F0 does not trigger anything, but F1 triggers the half step trill articulation. This is not an isolated incident, as I have tried several other articulations and the keyswitches that trigger those are all one octave higher than they should be. I could just put up with this, except that for the solo violin and other instruments, the keyswitch notes overlap with the regular notes, meaning the keyswitch notes are audible in my track. As a final note, my MIDI keyboard is able to utilize keyswitches correctly (i.e, when I play C0 on the keyboard, the C0 keyswitch is triggered in the Play window).
    Is there an easy fix for this?

    I think this worked. The odd thing is, I have a Roland A-88 keyboard but the Yamaha setting works for me. Thanks!
    Not odd at all.  The communication in question is between Logic and the plug in.  There may even be a setting within the plug that is basically the same thing.

  • I can't get east west symphonic choirs to work in logic

    Hi,
    I'm having huge problems with the EW Symphonic Choirs software. Firstly I followed the videos that come with the discs and it works to a point. but then it all goes horribly wrong.
    It says that I should create a midi track to record into and output the details of this track to an audio track. The only thing is that when I play these notes in the audio track they're all a semitone below the midi track! I can't understand this at all. So basically I have a melody that sounds all in simultaneous semitones, excrutiating for the ear!
    Then, there are only two possibilities for voices as the wordbuilder that comes with SC only has 4 ports. So it is impossible to play even an SATB! So in a sense its not really choir software at all, more like a vocal ensemble since you can only combine two of the 4 voice groups.
    More problems occur when I try to bounce the track, awful as it sounds, off to an aif. When listening back I get the voices cutting in and out with crackling sounds and stuttered speech. Also I can also hear the click as well crackling under the voices. I have never heard anything like this before with other software.
    Is there some setting that will fix this? My RAM is only 2.5, maybe this is a problem?
    I tried contacting the East West support team but they don't reply. To be honest this is putting me off ever buying anything from them again. I might get a refund soon if these problems persist.
    Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi every body,
    First of all sorry for my bad english I'm from Switzerland
    I myself acquired one east west choirs, and I encountered the same kind of problems.
    But I have a new mac pro 2.4 Ghz 12 GB RAM processor 2*6 core.
    It Looks like I should be able to hack the pentagon to install this program correctly.
    First, it often bugs, it crashes 2/5.
    It also crashes when I load the WordBuilder,
    when I load a bank, and I add one more, there are problems with the transpose. And very difficult to manage the problem touching the transpose cause bank load more than 8-10 samples and sometimes nothing moves when you touch the transpose.
    Notes are also arranged on the keyboard completely strange way, for example, a bank plays in C in the middle of the keyboard and the same bank plays in G to the bottom notes, so you're in big **** even if you manage your transpose problem. The same instrument change tone!
    So when I mix the bank I find a lost bottom note, lost at the top of the keyboard while playing and angelic note by mistake! The only way it's tu put down the transpose to get off this note but after you turn back with your tonality problem.
    I contacted the dealer. He told me to uninstall the program and the re-install, describing me a procedure for mac which steps doesn't really appears like in the dscription.
    I bought extansion that goes with this and I'm really angry given the price $ 600.
    Is there someone who knows what program it is, is it a big scam or a monumental BAD series???
    I wanted to buy the strings and brass too, but I strongly believe that I'll never approach an east west product or other product that would use the PLAY WIZARD, it seems they decide to sell technology that is not at all successfull and finished.
    Could someone help, some one who has got this application and could answer; even if it's to hear "throw this **** to garbage and forgot" lol

  • Can't find East West in Logic Pro 9

    Hi guys!
    I just bought Logic Pro 9 and a mac computer. I have never used a mac before. I have the complete composers addition of East West but can't seem to open any of the instrument in logic.
    I have gone to the audio units manager and the engine play is in there. I've even clicked on reset and rescan' but when I go to insert an instrument it does not display any of the East West libraries.
    Please help!!!!

    Hi
    You are probably running Logic in 64bit mode. All (new) plugins must be validated in 32bit mode before they will be available in 64bit.
    Go to the Applications folder, and (with Logic NOT running) select the Logic Pro application. Press CMD i (Get Info) and check the 32bit box

  • East West Sample Library

    Hello,
    I just purchased the Silver Bundle edition from East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and can't figure out how to import the library or the Kontakt player it comes with into logic... any advice?
    Likewise, my normal midi keyboard isn't working within kontakt player itself... any advice?
    Best,
    Matt Finan

    All of the east west libraries that run on Kompakt are NOT compatible with the intel macs.
    Your options are to either wait a few months until their new player supports Silver, or spend $269 buying the Kontakt crossgrade (which is a universal binary). Or you can see if they'll take it back and let you buy a library that actually works. Good luck.

  • East/West Gold Orch wtih Logic

    How do I use East/West Gold Orch Edition with Logic? I can't find the sequencer, when I try to launch it in an audio instrument track.
    Thanks.
    Ole from Denmark.

    EWQLSO runs on either Kompakt (There should be a dedicated instrument included in your bundle) or using Kontakt, which can be bought as a separate sampler from Native Instruments.
    If you have a second hand version of the software, it is an incredibly laborious process. I bought mine in the 'group buy' that ran a couple of years ago at Northern Sounds. They failed to mention it was for OS9! A lot of downloading of patches and updates before I could get it to work. Thankfully, now I have a Native Instruments login I can download the updates should I wish to re-install them.

  • COLOSSUS FROM EAST WEST ANYBODY USE IT?

    I was just wondering if anybody owns or has used Colossus. Im just looking for detailed thoughts on it. I know they are upgrading Colossus to Goliath but since Goliath is not out yet Im just looking for feed back on Colossus. Thanx

    Disclaimer: I was one of the beta testers for this program and did some of the demos on the East West site, so I'm kind of biased.
    But I will tell you I still use it quite a lot. The things I still use it the most for are bass, guitars, pianos, brass and ethnic sounds. But it has a whole lot of other great thing in it as well. Since I also own the Platinum Symphonic Orchestra program, I don't use it much for orch stuff, but it's good for certain things in that genre. All the samples are really top quality. Especially since they've dropped the price I would think it's a good bargain - you get a lot for the money.
    Again, I might be a bit biased.

  • East West Symphonic Gold Bundle not loading in Kontakt 2.2.2 player

    Hi to all--
    I posted this within another thread, but since it hasn't been answered, and might have been a little off the topic of that thread, I thought I might try a new thread.
    I've installed the EWQL Symphonic Gold bundle, as directed, and run the stand-alone player once and closed it, also as directed in forum posts and the Soundsonline website.But I'm not able to then load sounds into the Kontakt player as a plug-in within LP8, as is necessary since Intel Macs can't run the Kompakt player like every other kind of computer, but only Kontakt. I'm running Kontakt 2.2.2.001, so it's beyond the minimum version necessary for the EWQL according to what their documentation says.
    Just to make sure I'm giving y'all lots of info so maybe you can help, I'll give you the steps I'm doing as concisely as possible.
    In a new Logic Arrange window, I'm creating a new stereo Software Instrument track. In the Mixer, I navigate to Kontakt 2 so that it comes up in the I/O button, then double-click so the Kontakt control panel comes up. So far so good. Then, under "load/save" on the Kontakt panel, I navigate to samples via the Pro XP Library Folder, to "instruments" sub-folder, then through instrument families to individual samples. But when I select and hit the "choose" button, I get the following error message: "KontaktPlayer2-The patch you're trying to load cannot be used with this application."
    I can't see that I'm doing anything wrong, but hopefully whatever it is is simple to fix. Maybe I'll just go "duhh" when a kind soul tells me what's going on.
    Thanks in advance to all!
    later,
    John

    Thanks, Bee Jay and Jim!
    Bee Jay, you are quite right that it's not a Logic problem. I just thought I might get a helpful response from someone here, since NI is very weird and squirrely.
    I finally had a moderator get back to me on the Soundsonline Forum, who told me the root of the problem: I have been trying to use the Kontakt 2.2.2 PLAYER, not the program itself, and it's the latter that is required. Hmmm. That was not made clear to me when I bought the East-West collection. But maybe my fault for not knowing the difference between program and player? Anyway, I'm on the hook for an upgrade from the Kontakt player to a full version of Kontakt 3, and I just have to suck it up. Boo hoo hoo, right? ;>)
    later,
    John

  • Classical Orchestral Sound:  Panning, EQ, and Convolution Filters

    Hi,
    I'm now studying the sections of the rather large, but quite informative
    book, The Guide to MIDI Orchestration, 3rd Edition, by Paul Gilreath
    to obtain details about how to use my non-ambient, dry samples of
    the orchestra to create a true, classical orchestra sound (not a
    hollywood sound), though my music is not 19th-century classical.
    I'm also studying the Apple Logic Pro plug-in book concerning the
    convolution filter, Space Designer.
    Being a beginner, my learning curve is rather slow. But, I am feeling
    more and more confident. And, this confidence is boosted by the
    fact that I have a 3.0 gHz Mac Pro that can handle, most likely,
    the processing required.
    I post this thread to see if there are others who might have similar
    goals and might have hints or ideas on this topic.
    For instance, does anyone out there go through the details of
    panning to place the instruments of the orchestra in their
    correct locations?
    Does anyone lower the EQ of the percussion section because they
    are placed further back in the orchestra?
    Does anyone deal with the details of singling out a particular section
    of the orchestra and consider "delaying" the sound, such as the
    percussion section, or perhaps the French Horns? If so, how do you
    achieve this? Do you use a plug-in for each section, or single out
    some sections for a plug-in, and plug every other section into another
    plug-in?
    So, if you all have any experience in these matters, or some "best settings"
    for some of these panning, EQ, and convolution filters (or even simple
    reverb plug-ins), I'd love to read about your experiences while I
    continue to study my books.
    Thanks,
    Sys6
    P.S.
    My orchestra is almost all non-ambient samples. Garritan Orchestral
    Strings. Westgate Studios Advanced Woodwind Collection. And,
    a new dry, brass collection which has not yet been delivered. My
    percussion is Apple Garage Band percussion (which I'm assuming is
    relatively dry).

    Hi,
    Here are some details of my set-up. I continued to read the MIDI
    Orchestration book, and the Logic Pro manuals where applicable.
    I set everything up, and then I visited the above links to read them
    in more detail, to see how they solved the problem. First, I don't pretend
    to have "solved the problem", but this is my first start.
    Following the MIDI orchestration book, I discovered that my Garritan
    Orchestral Strings were in Stereo, so I used them in stereo, specifically
    using the insert, Direction Mixer.
    Violins I and II, Violas, have a Direction Mixer spread of 1.3. Following
    the book, the Celli and Bassi were given a Direction Mixer spread that
    was wider, and I chose 1.5.
    I made all the brass monophonic, and used the pan pot on the bus.
    My Westgate Studios Advanced Woodwind Collection is mono, so
    again I used the pan pot on the bus.
    The percussion samples (piano, harp, timpani, and everyone else)
    are stereo, so I used dirmix also.
    For the most part, each section of the orchestra, such as either
    Violins I or oboes (and English Horn), each feed into their own
    bus. So, every section can be panned using the pan pod if
    they are mono, or using dirmix otherwise.
    Every section of the strings feeds into another bus dedicated to strings.
    Every brass section feeds into a similar bus dedicated to brass.
    The same for woodwinds, but there are two buses: one for the
    front woodwinds (flute family and oboe family) and one for the
    woodwinds sitting behind them (clarinet family and bassoon family).
    For some of the percussion: timpani and other miscellaneous
    percussion, for now, these go to their own bus. Also, piano
    and harp go to a pianoAndHarp bus. Tubular Bells,
    Marimba, and Xylophone share a bus. All these sub buses use
    dirmix for stereophonic spread and panning, all all these sub buses
    feed into a master percussion bus.
    Everyone audio instrument has its individual volume level set to
    -15 db. I may go over every instrument again and make it even
    lower, such as -20 db.
    There are six master buses (nearly at the top of the food chain):
    1. String Bus.
    2. Woodwind Bus Front
    3. Woodwind Bus Back
    4. Piano Harp Bus
    5. Brass Bus
    6. Percussion Bus
    Each of these higher-level buses received one insert: Space Designer
    (a convolution reverb unit).
    And, for each, Space Designer (at least at this time), is practically
    identical: that is, I chose
    33 Misc. Reverbs > Misc. Reverbs - Short Dark > 1.5s_Dark & Small
    which I like (for now, for chords anyway; later I may need a smaller
    room for music with notes moving at a faster clip and for music
    that is more chromatic).
    There is one parameter that differs for each of these six Space
    Designer inserts:
    1. String Bus: Pre-Delay 0 ms
    2. Woodwind Bus Front: Pre-Delay 1 ms
    3. Woodwind Bus Back: Pre-Delay 2 ms
    4. Piano Harp Bus: Pre-Delay 3 ms
    5. Brass Bus: Pre-Delay 4 ms
    6. Percussion Bus: Pre-Delay 5 ms
    Other parameters may differ over time. For instance, space designer
    seems pretty clever, it can add a pre-delay, it looks like it can
    act as a low pass filter, and so forth. So, maybe, over time, I might
    use it as a low pass filter for the percussion section, not sure yet
    (hard to tell, since my percussion section is not very good, it is
    Apple Jam Pack Orchestra).
    All these six busses feed into a final bus, which at this time
    does nothing, but pass everything on to Output 1-2.
    I focused my musical chords to be very soft or very loud in
    the score editor.
    That is, the goal is not to have the final mix exceed 0 db.
    Unfortunately, I failed in this regard, for in a rather loud
    section (at the end of the above sound file), the chimes played
    loudly brought me over the 0 db level. So, for now, I turned
    down the bus that these chimes feed into. There are other
    more advanced solutions, but for now, I am focusing on
    simple solutions (though I am always happy to hear about
    advanced solutions which I may implement at a later date).
    Over time, of course, I may adjust pannings, stereo pan width,
    and the like. But, being a beginning "sound recording engineer,"
    I am impressed with the results! Wow!
    As an aside, each of my 3.0 gHz processors is being used;
    two are used for effects processing (such as for the 6 Space
    Designer plug-ins), and two are being used for audio processing.
    No disk activity occurs (I use the latest Lacie external drive, the
    biggest I could find, and perhaps it is buffering enough files
    so that the drives are never accessed?).
    Thanks again, if there are other details I have left out, I'll
    update.

  • "No Mac Can Handle" professional Orchestral sample libraries?

    Hi,
    What I do: Film / TV / Ensemble composer
    Sample Libraries I use: As my normal palate; Symphonic Choirs, LA Scoring Strings, Vienna Woodwinds, Project Sam Orchestral Brass, Storm Drum 2. Plus others for colour.  I WILL be expanding this in the future.
    What I want: A system that will allow me to work with all these plugins (in Logic Studio), without sticking up 'Failed to process data in time' or any other errors! I need it to WORK, so I can edit and get on with composing! My current system can't even handle Symphonic Choirs, or LA Scoring Strings on their OWN!
    I'm using a mix of high quality sound libraries, and I'm doing orchestral scoring, so I need something that can run ALL the sound libraries at once without falling over!
    I was thinking of buying this iMac:
    2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
    1TB Serial ATA Drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB GDDR5
    Someone else suggested I skip that and go for a MacPro.
    Since then, on another forum I've been advised that even people running 8 Core systems have them fall over due to CPU usage spiking to 100% when JUST using LA Scoring Strings (Nothing else)!!! Obviously I'm going to be putting my system under alot more strain then that. 
    Some people have suggested using PC Slaves as this is apparently 'the only way' to do it without it falling over - but obviously I don't want to do that as all my software is geared for mac, and I love the operating ease!
    I don't understand how the 'top' composers do it, there doesn't seem to be a system built that can handle this stuff.
    HELP ME FELLOW MAC COMPOSERS - you're my only hope! Please specify what sample libraries you are using concurrently (so I can get an idea that we're trying to do the same thing), or how you have managed it!
    Any help gratefully appreciated. What do I buy?!
