Pierre-AlexisHello,
For few month ago i bought the nice symphonic choirs from EastWest. But in fact i have a little problem.
In fact the software has different possibilities to use:
-using Wordbuilder (creating phrases with choirs, here’s coming the problem soon in this message…)
-the Play software to use and choose the different type of Choirs in 2 divided Choirs types: those for only simples “aah, ooh , uuh” etc, and those for multi, that means its specialy to use with Wordbuilder
-using Play as plugin (VST, AudioUNIT etc…)
Here is the problem: Wordbuilder use a virtual way that links manually Wordbuilder to PLAY software with a virtual midi port.
Schema:
Wordbuilder midi port 01: keyboard 01 ->(to) midi port 02 in PLAY software (hard to explain)
I tried this on my IMac, because it was probably more balanced and stable. I read that Mac uses a virtual way that link automatically wordbuilder to Play software. So i did the same schema:
Wordbuilder midi port 01: keyboard 01 ->(to) midi port 02 in PLAY software (hard to explain)
(sender of words -> receiver of words and plays it with the Play software’s voices)
But when i do the same on windows it doesnt work ! i tried some virtual midi that could link Wordbuilder to Play software, but it doesnt work at all on Podium! On the website there’s a tip but only for Cubase, here’s the link:

Is there a possibility to have a way to have something linking 2 “softw-twares” (here: Wordbuilder and PLAY from Eastweast) in Podium, or maybe you got a tip ? Because i would like to use it for Live but i dont want to transport my Imac everywhere (everyweeks) ! And buying a macbook pro, you know the prices…
PS: strangely, the PLAY software doesnt work anymore now, probably because podium is x64, but thats something else..
Thank you very much to have read that (i know its Long , im sorry but as its not so popular i have to explain a bit) !

Whew, I gave up reading this. I feel this is too complicated without having the plugin to test with. If it doesn’t work in Podium x64, then what about Podium x86?
Pierre-AlexisYes its very complicated since you (or someone else) havnt the plugin. But strangely i finally reached to use the Wordbuilder in Zynewave Podium !
I finally used back the MidiYoke Midiport !
(those steps may help if im not the only one having this software)
On Windows 7 x64 version:
-First Copy your Symphonic choirs PLAY Plugin in your VST plugins (oftenly located on: C:Programs/Common Files/East West/VSTPlugins/play_VST_x64 )
-Then Open Wordbuilder as Standalone
-choose the type of voice (i took Altos); then in Midi IN, choose your keyboard to play with; then in Midi Out, choose the “Out To MIDI Yoke: 1”.
-click Ok
-let the Wordbuilder running and then open Podium 3 (make a new project -> reload or update your vst plugin folder -> then Ok)
-make a new Track (right clic -> “Add New Track”)
-go to the toolbar in the menu “Setup” -> “Preferences…” -> “MIDI/Audio Interfaces…“. In the MIDI input interfaces, tick “In From MIDI Yoke: 1” but untick the keyboard you want to play with because its already used by Wordbuilder ! Click Ok
-in the “Source” of the new track, search for the Play plugin (not this one: “Play #1” with the little arrow next its name)
-in the Play plugin, search for your EWQL Symphonic Choirs on your HardDrive, for me it was C:/EWQL Choirs/EWQL Choirs Instruments/Multis/Altos WB/…
-Then go back to your Wordbuilder window, type something, i typed “Hello” only to hear some sound coming from it.
Enjoy !! (you can record the choirs too now if you want in Podium !)
Done ! Wordbuilder works on Podium 3 !!!
Thanks for this awesome software !!!
PS:i found this idea simply alone, without any help. Only the Zynewave Admin reminds me some few things i had on different softwares which were hard to set.[/u]
