Please help me get started with EWQLSO and Logic Platinum!

Hi Everyone,

I have a rather amateurish request. So far my composing activity was confined to using Sibelius, and recording songs with Kontakt Player, so I know precious little about sequencers. I've just managed to get myself an EWQLSO Gold Edition, and I also have a Logic Platinum 5 sequencer. I'm simply asking: how do I get started in the first place? How can I import the samples from ESQL to Logic? Once that's done, I guess I can find my way around.

Thanx in advance!

I'm guessing you're probably going to be using them as VST plugins; that's the best way.

Yes, I figured out that that's what I need to do, but how exactly do I do THAT? Logic has a VST Plug-Ins folder, and I've already tried to copy there a multi that I saved on EWQLSO, but I can't proceed from there. How do I make it work? (I said I'm an amateur with sequencers, treat me as an absolute beginner...)

I don't use Logic, so it'd be hard to give you precise instructions, but I'm fairly certain that if you take the DLL files from the EWQL VST folder and put them into Logic's VST Plugins folder, you should be able to use it just fine.

Meantime I've changed the Logic for Cubase SX3; I figured out how to import and load the samples alright. My problem now is that when I put the midis in the sequencer and load samples on it, it only plays the uppermost channel and ignores the rest. Am I missing something? Or does it have to do with computer shortages?

It might be a configuration problem too. I'd have to know your computers' stats and what exactly you're trying to load in order to tell you whether or not it's the computer's fault.

OK, what specific info do you need on the computer? By "what samples" do you mean what instrument? Actually, I was trying to load a standard symphony orchestra from EWQLSO samples from piccolo down to double bass, and all I get is the piccolo, or whatever it is I put on top. Even when I have just 1 sample loaded, it plays it from channel 1 only, so I guess it doesn't have to do with the number of samples I load. I keep thinking it must be something trivial, I just can't figure out what. Any help appreciated.

Oh! I think you're forgetting to assign the tracks in Logic to play through the correct MIDI channel. Not sure how to do it in Logic though, so you'll have to just read the manual.

Yes, you're right! Problem solved--thanks! I knew it must be something trivial...

No problem! Looking forward to hearing your new work :(

BTW...can I have your EWQL? :P :)
