NOTION Music Forum

Just a further question to one i just posed in the EWQL faq thread.

I just got my Play version of Platinum and noticed some severe memory usage that the faq thread didnt seem to address, so i'm just curious if this next bit is achievable.

1. Using notion as a rewire host, and reaper or sonar as a rewire slave.
2. Load up the necessary KS patches in that host, or use that host to control hosts on external pcs using something like reastream. That way you can use one or more instances of Play or Kontakt in that host or the external hosts.
3. Use the EWQL templates in Notion to control that track without having Notion trying to load up the Play instrument within itself.

thanks

Controlling additional systems is a long standing method when working with large, resource hungry sample sets. They can be connected with traditional audio and MIDI hardware or over a gigabit network. There are many choices in how to set things up.

Back in the day, people like Hans Zimmer had setups of up to 40 PCs! The evolution of computer hardware and the move into 64bit have largely made that kind of sprawling setup unnecessary.
