Thanks. I use EWSO Gold library, but I would like to use more than 2 instances: do I have to buy slots to do so?
When I used Logic I could have illimited synth tracks, called "audioinstruments", so I wanted to do something similar with Sonar... it's not possible?

The number of outputs is coded in the soft synth, AFAIK. Not Logic nor any other DAW can add those outputs into Kontakt (??). You can run as many instances of any soft synth as your computer can handle.
I don't think there are any soft synths that can output a symphony orchestra with just one instance, but I'm not sure. That would be an immense job.
You must study the Kontakt manual now, that's where the answer lies. When you insert Kontakt just choose "All audio outputs".

My Orchestral template consist of 9 instances of EWQL's PLAY engine.

Two for strings, two for brass, two for w/winds, two for percussion, and one for some other bits & pieces (Piano/harp etc)

This is the main reason why I have 32Gb of RAM installed

Fully loaded with no note data eats into about 12Gb

Thank you for answering.
That's the point, Bristol Jonesey: if I open 2 instances of EWQL as simple instrument tracks, that's 16 MIDI channels, so I can't open other instances. I find it too uncomfortable to bounce it all when I want more than 16 tracks.

I suppose the only way to open other instances of EWQL is to select "all synth audio outputs" connected to only 1 MIDI track, but I miss the reason why it doesn't work for me.

Can you tell me how do you manage to open 9 instances, please? Thank you!

Your not reading some of the replies, You can open as many as you like and each one can have 16 channels. Synth A channel 1 , Synth B channel 1. etc. Only the synth that the MIDI track is set to output to will play even though there could be a bunch of tracks using ch1.

Exactly right Johnny

THANK YOU! Now it's clear, it works with simple instruments!!!
I read all the answers, it's just I didn't understand! (Maybe because I was too sure I couldn't use the same channel twice or more).
 
It's a main improvement for me, thanks so much!
