Ewqlso And Logic Help Needed Options

[uvbnskoold]

Thanks for taking time to read this (and possibly help me out).

I have been dabbling in Logic Pro since I bought it and am slowly getting the hang of the program, but need help figuring something out.

I have Logic Pro, as I mentioned, with some EWQL products, more specifically Gold XP is what I need help with. Those who know the library will know that you can have up to 8 slots per instance of the program/plug-in working.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to get one instance of the program open and all 8 slots filled up (thereby using only one instance of the program for every 8 instruments I need - IE. One track, one plug-in, 8 instruments). I assume if this is possible you'd have to somehow reference other tracks data back to this particular track and a midi channel... but what do I know. I'm can compose well, I just know very little about music technology.

Currently I have to set up a new plug-in instance for each instrument I want to use, and needless to say it probably bogs down the system a lot. I have a lot of RAM (8 gigs to be frank) but all the open instances and data, etc, adds up quickly...

Can someone tell me if what I'm looking to do is possible and if so, how to do it? Or an alternative or if you know what I'm trying to do, let me know how. Both the Logic documentation and the EWQL documentation have been no help.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe someone out there can correct me if I am wrong, but my experience is that you will only be able to use one slot for every instance. AFAIK, Logic limits the addressing of every sampler instance to one channel, even when you can set more channels internally. I'm not an EWQL user, but I tried the same thing with Kontakt and couldn't figure it out. Seems to me the eight slots are for when the sampler is used in stand-alone mode, not as a plug-in instrument. Anyone???
