Using EWQL Symphonic Orchestra

Is it the Play version, or the older East West "Kontakt" version?

I don't remember installing mine in the apps folder. It installed itself where it wanted. I told it to put the library on a separate drive (a good idea, esp if you are using a mac pro with internal drives). It appeared in the plug list no problems.

That's using a program called Kompakt which is PPC only.
You'll need Kontakt 3 or higher to have access to that library.

That library is not available anymore, only the PLAY versions are available.
If you're not the original licensee, you have a illegal copy of that software.

That's nearly true. I can still run mine perfectly on Kontakt 2 with Logic 9.1.3.

FWIT, most users agree that the Kontakt version runs better than the Play version, so if you get Kontakt 2 or higher, you will probably be well pleased with the library.

And then, obviously, the plug in you would look for and load would be Kontakt, and then load the EWQL library from within there.

I don't have Kontakt 2 so I didn't know if that was still a PPC version, but I guess it isn't.

Either way, in order to run the Kompakt version of EWQL Symphonic Orchestra on an Intel Based MAC, you need the full Version of Kontakt.

You don't need the full version of Kontakt, their free/lite version of Kompakt Player will run those libraries just fine. Go to the native instruments website and download Kontakt Player 4.1. You'll need to run the Support Center app to authorize the library and then it should work fine. If you want more features you can upgrade to the full version of Kontakt, for me it has been a much better way to run those libraries than the PLAY version.

their free/lite version of Kompakt Player

This player was only supplied by EastWest, not by Native Instruments even though Native Instruments wrote this program.
If you're running a PPC Mac, yes this will run fine because KOMPAKT is a PPC program only.
If you're running a Intel Mac, KOMPAKT will still run but under Rosetta on an Intel Mac but you won't be able to see this in Logic if Logic is running as an Intel application.

I've actually seen people copy over thier Logic PPC to an Intel Mac and they can see the KOMPAKT player, but that's only because Logic is also running under Rosetta as a PPC program, not an INTEL program.

I could never get the Kontakt 4 Player to work with my HardCore Bass and Stormdrum 1 but at that point didn't care because I have the Full Version of Konkakt 3.5

Just to point out, Kompakt and Kontakt are two different programs, i'm not typing a typo in these names. I was confused about that as well.

Sorry, I made a typo.

Those old libraries work in the latest KONTAKT Player free version. The old "Kompakt" plugins/apps don't work but you don't need them any more since the libraries themselves work fine with either Kontakt 4.1 or Kontakt Player 4.1 (the free one).

I'll have to try the authorization again with Kontakt 4 Player for Hardcore Bass and Stormdrum 1

I have other libraries like Evolve, everything Sample Logic, Acoustics Legend, etc... that work great with Kontakt 4 Player and authorized just fine, just EWQL stuff didn't.

I know it works for Gold/Platinum, Stormdrum (kontakt and intakt libraries), and RA, no experience with the bass.

It's possible that it didn't work with earlier versions and got fixed with a Kontakt update.

Thanks for the update, I'll try with the latest Kontakt Player update.

Hello Newbie here,

Sorry to ask on this thread but I can't see a link to start a new post, and it's related to this topic.

EWQLSO Platinum is 117GB, how much is samples and how much is the application/plug-in? I'm thinking of getting a small SSD for my OS/Application drive and need to know how much GB drive I'll need (smaller the better IMHO).

Also I'll be using Storm Drum 2 Pro and Symphonic Choirs which I assume will be a certain amount on Application and certain amount audio samples. Does anyone know the sizes.

Logic Studio is 9GB right with the other 38GB able to be installed on another drive?

I'm currently using about 13GB for my OS/Applications drive with just OSX on it.

Therefore can anyone fill the sum for me please

OS/Applications: 13 GB
Logic: 9 GB
EWQLSO: ? GB
Storm Drum Pro: ? GB
Symphonic Choirs: ? GB +

Total GB needed for my OS/Application drive = ? GB

Hope you can help.

Kind Regards.

Your question is not related to the OP

Go here to post or search for your answer.

In fact, I have seen the answer to this question over at EastWest forum.
Do a search.

For the EW stuff, it's virtually all samples. I have less then 100 megs of EW files on my boot drive.

For a boot drive you can probably get by with 64 but I'd probably go 128 just to be on the safe side.

Many thanks for the help Mike! FWIW you were instrumental in my previous learnings, due to forums you posted on (here and there), cheers.

Kind Regards
