I would have liked some voices in this library. The middle eastern voice has not been covered in depth by Tari ( I don't think). Besides that it is very good. I bought it yesterday.
What's Engine like and does it use ILok copy protection or something else?
I do wish some of Eduardo's libraries were Kontakt and not Engine. I suppose Ancient Era Persia is in Engine as it's using legacy content from Desert Winds. Having said that I find Engine to be a very capable and does the job. I'm just not a huge fan of the interface and it feels slightly fiddly cycling through the presets.What's Engine like and does it use ILok copy protection or something else?
Yes, I wish they had a more efficient menu structure for choosing patches. It's easy enough to just use the arrows to go up or down one library when you just want to audition all of them. But choosing a specific instrument is a bit laborious if there are many sub-folders.I do wish some of Eduardo's libraries were Kontakt and not Engine.

I've only really played around with the percussion so far, but it sounds fantastic!
I think you get an 'overall' RAM usage in the Preferences tab, but I don't think you get it on a individual patch basis. I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong.Yes, I wish they had a more efficient menu structure for choosing patches.

Also, unless I missed something, is there really no way to see how much RAM a specific patch is using?
Yes, don't let Engine deter you from picking this library up. The GUI within Ancient ERA Persia (and all of Eduardo's libraries) is very nice and user friendly. It's just the external Engine shell that could use some improvements.Even with some of the recent updates Engine is lagging in GUI friendliness, but don't let that stop anyone. These libs are awesome.
Don mentioned that he didn't think the loops were locked to the DAW's tempo. Can anyone confirm that?
That would be pretty poor for a brand new library I think. Or is that just for instrument loops?
Sonokinetic might fill that gap for you (although admittedly Turkish and Yemeni isn't Iranian).I would have liked some voices in this library. The middle eastern voice has not been covered in depth by Tari ( I don't think). Besides that it is very good. I bought it yesterday.
I really like Engine. Almost more than Kontakt. It's been really stable for me but I too wish there was a major GUI update.

Same here. Win 10, Cubase 6.5, never had any problem with it, literally zero crashes.Yes, very stable here as well.
Hello,Can somebody confirm that this is again a pure mono library?
