Hey everyone, basically last time I checked, everyone seemed to hate EastWest PLAY because of bugs, and that it didn't have as efficient purging as Kontakt. Has this changed? Is PLAY good now?
What conveniences do you find lacking? In what ways is it inflexible?Its more stable for me (than it use to be), but It's completely inflexible and lacks a lot of modern conveniences
Not bad. But does screwy things. You can add an instrument to your MIDI setup via the browser and if you have it set to automatically/incrementally add that instrument to the next MIDI channel, it's a breeze. Unless it decides to put it somewhere else and give it a non-consecutive channel. If you're not paying attention, this can be trés annoying.Hey everyone, basically last time I checked, everyone seemed to hate EastWest PLAY because of bugs, and that it didn't have as efficient purging as Kontakt.

Ain't that the truth!! So far, judging from everyone else's comments, Play 6 is very playable (lol). However me and my sorry ass 16 GB of RAM won't be having any of that before proper purging like in Kontakt comes alongThe only thing I do with Play and with Kontakt is ... load the samples and play them in Cubase. So stability would be the only thing here. In fact, can't remember when I had to open either plugin (given that my template is now complete and how I want it).
Only one thing I wish for, from Play, and that is a Purge option that's similar to Kontakt. That would make a WORLD of difference for my low-RAM machines, and template.
What computer do you have? Just curious.Ain't that the truth!! So far, judging from everyone else's comments, Play 6 is very playable (lol). However me and my sorry ass 16 GB of RAM won't be having any of that before proper purging like in Kontakt comes along

2018 advanced, how so?Is it the 2019 advanced model?
If you could find a way to upgrade to the Max you could be killing it with Play and HO. You'd only be able to probably do one mic position but that's fine. I just use Gold and it still sounds great.A Razer Blade 15 which only supports up to 32 GBs of RAM unfortunately :(
