NOTION3 and EWQL Users FAQ
Hello everyone, we hope the information below will be useful to you. Please do not forget to always update to the latest version of NOTION3, since we are constantly improving the software and adding new features.
1. Which EWQL library do you provide presets for?
We provide presets for EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum (Plus) PLAY edition. Although they were created for Platinum, they seem to work just fine for Gold too.
2. Do you plan on providing presets for EWQL Gold?
Actually, the current presets also work with Gold as confirmed by our users
3. What are the Lite presets?
The presets from the Lite groups are instrument presets that use the MasterKS patches from EWQL Platinum. They provide you with a good amount of articulations for each instrument while still keeping the RAM requirements low. They are a good solution if you want to build an orchestra template made entirely of EWQL Platinum.
4. What about the other presets?
The Platinum presets are done using separate full patches that aim to give you the full range of techniques per instrument. For example they will include articulations and techniques that may be missing from the MasterKS patches. They also have several legato and a DXF patch. Because of their size, they are a good choice if you want to add an EWQL instrument to an existing orchestral project or create a section of EWQL instruments.
5. Can I load Play x64 into NOTION3?
As any other 32bit host, NOTION will not load a 64bit VST plugin. However, a lot of people have found that using JBridge with NOTION3 and EWQL works well when you want to use your x64 PLAY version.
6. I am getting a dialog that says PLAY can’t find my samples?
Just click OK and locate the main installation folder for your EWQL library (the one containing BOTH the Instruments and the Samples folders). The instrument will then load fine. Be patient, some instruments take a while to load.
7. Can I customize the plug-in presets once they are added to the score?
Yes, simply click on the instrument’s staff, then bring in the VST interface by Ctrl+I or Cmd+I shortcut. This will launch PLAY’s interface for that instrument. You can also launch the UI from the mixer by clicking on the instrument name just above the outputs assignment on the bottom of the channel.
8. I don’t see any presets in score setup?
You need to enable PLAY using the VST manager. Once you open the VST manager, click Browse and locate PLAY’s .dll navigation to its folder
(usually it's C:\Program Files\Common Files\East West\Vstplugins)
9. How do I write for a Full Orchestra with EWQL
Build 250 introduces a EWQL Full Orchestra Template. It's found under File-New From Template
