I think some Komplete  9 Ultimate stuff uses modwehll for expression ...is that what you're trying to achieve ?
 



Probably.  I don't own it so I don't know exactly how it works.  If it raises volume and brightness / intensity at the same time, then yes.  I probably should buy Kontakt one of these days.

thks guyz for the feedback 
 
I own K9 Ultimate , all Heavyocity , and REV from output ...in the kontakt world ...i don't think kontakt is that great but the lib dev offers is the most complete around !!!
 
I kept a good souvenir of the EW quality and ussually it sounding way better thant kontakt content (back in EW kontakt day ...tried those to see how it sounded)
 
What i like about Albion is that there's a volume for each style ....im' interested in the Albion 3  ... and also they provide additionnal sgoodies like dark synth sand all
 
Project Sam OE looks complete also ... in fact i want a good interface , simple with bread and butter when i need it .....it kills me to go thorw all the komplete stuff 
 
The syncrosoft thing is a deal breaker for real ...as a owner of ilok .. i don't want another thing
 
 
 


Zo:  + 1 for Iceni... it's brilliant!  Keep having to spend my meger funds elsewhere... now, interface upgrade...leaning towards Forte...but Iceni is next on my list!
 
btw, ilok has improved their website, interface hugely just recently... it got a lot better and I actually support the concept as devs deserve to be paid...and it's portability is quite nice! Upgrading my system... ilok didn't care.  Everything else?  an all nighter!

I have Play, latest version and use it in Sonar x3d - so far without any issues.
I did have some issues with Play about 3 / 4 years ago (sorry can't even remember what they were) but they sorted them out for me and were very helpful at the time.
Not had any issues since, so from Skycrafts problems sounds like things may have changed.
All I can say is that mine works and I am very happy with their stuff.

Same here.  I'm not all that fond of the companie's attitude but I haven't had any major problems in a long time.

I have EastWest Symphony Orchestra Platinum.  it's the big package with the 16bit/24bit and 3 mic positions.
 
I was "using" is with Sonar X1d pro and the Play 3 engine.  it worked maybe 50% of the time.  I was running a duo2core quad 2.4ghz with 8gb ram.  it was sluggish, crash prone and just frustrating.
 
I've upgraded my computer to a i7 quad 3.5ghz with 16gb ram and Sonar X3b Pro and Play 4.1. it's not "as" sluggish (personally I think you could throw 64gb at PLAY and it would be sluggish, I've only had 2 crashes so far and that I think was my fault throwing too much at it - user error).  I still find PLAY frustrating.
 
now that I've had some time with PLAY and EWSO if I could go back in time....I would buy Orchestra Essentials.
 
if you DO want to play in the EastWest library world I would highly recommend waiting to purchase any of their products ONLY when there is a HUGE 50% off sale - which they seem to run 2-3 times a year from what I've seen.
