music_boy Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'd just like to know if Sculpture is able to route different sounds to different MIDI channels. If that doesn't make sense, here's what I mean with an example: I have used East West Symphonic Orchestra (sample based, I know) to play several different instruments (8 is maximum I think) without having to open up lots of instances of the plug-in. The 8 instruments are assigned to 8 MIDI channels (respectively) to allow multiple outputs (instruments) from one instance of the plug-in. I was wondering if there is any way to do that with Sculpture? I don't see how it is possible actually, but I thought I'd ask just incase I'm missing something. In fact, to extend my question a little further: does anyone know if any of the Logic plug-ins (EXS24 perhaps?) have the ability to do what the EW plug-in can do? I know that my computer is fast enough to handle a lot, but I've always been obsessed with conserving my CPU and not having loads of unnecessary plug-in instances. Can someone answer both questions please? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Only Multichannel instruments can send sounds to different outputs. In Logic, that's only Ultrabeat and EXS24. However, 8 instances of EXS24 will take WAY less CPU than 1 single instance of Kontakt or Kompakt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
music_boy Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks David...and I was considering getting contact once it's universal! The 15GB library might come in handy though...or just maybe that's too much choice! Actually, I'm thinking of getting a lot of NI software when they sort the programs out to be universal. Guitar Rig, Reaktor, Absynth, Battery..do you use any NI plug-ins? I'm also going to get Reason and Ableton Live. Do you (or anyone who reads this) use Reason or Live? Just curious.

David Nahmani Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I use a lot of those once in a while. I use Kontakt on a regular basis for QLSO. But I don't really like it. I'd rather get libraries for the EXS24. It's ok, but it's a CPU hog. And it's easier to use an EXS24/Instrument than to incorporate Kontakt as a multitimbral plug-in in Logic.
