Importing East-West Libraries into Mach Five

Post by sampolfonz »

I purchased the East-West Quantum Leap Piano a couple of years ago, to have the Yamaha grand.

The Play software is terrible. It has no expressiveness and play response is terrible and numerous contacts to their support department has yielded no results.

Is it possible to import the library into Mach Five and take advantage of a better playing experience? I own MachFive 2 and DP, so I would love to be able to use the piano library, and maybe MachFive 2 could be the ticket !!

Thanks for the help !!

You can resample using Autosampler by redmatica software. I have it and it works great. But, very time consuming. Other than that I think you're out of luck.

Why is the Play interface so non-responsive?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Have you downloaded the latest play version? I find it to be more stable and quite responsive for me (although I usually lay down MIDI piano tracks using a kurzweil k2500 and then point the MIDI data to my EW piano vi after the fact to avoid latency).

I was looking at Autosampler when I saw your post, so I got it. It does work great. A simple concept, but so well executed. I've already recreated some of the sounds from my hardware synths that I couldn't find elsewhere. They play equally well in ESX 24 or Kontakt player, and I'm hoping these will both load seamlessly into Mach 5.

They will. I wish I would have owned autosampler before I sold my xv3080 and dm5 last year just to archive some of the sounds. I've only used it to grab some things from my last remaining hardware keyboard, an old Yamaha s80. And some sample tank sounds some could use them in Kontakt. Nothing exciting.
