DP 6 and East West Play engine

Post by michael77 »

Is anyone out there running DP 6 with the new East West Play engine? ( Platinum Plus)

I'm having small issues, but enough to make tracking and mixing strings very difficult.

What specific troubles are you having? PLAY is among the few VIs I have running in DP6.01 that actually works.

I, too, run the Play engine with Ministry of Rock, and it seems to work fine. But sometimes it keeps on having to re-load the samples if I leave the play tracks dormant for a while. If this is a clever way of saving processing power that DP6 has come up with - then great, but its a bit annoying each time it happens.

I'm using East West orch. Platinum Plus library.

It does have too re load the samples quite a bit which is annoying
but also in the MIDI edit window the notes won't respond when you
select them separately. Therefore when editing a string part in EWQLO
you can't hear the pitches that you're trying to edit. Frustrating.

Are you running SO with pre-render active? There's a certain workflow "normalcy" when it's set to real time.
