    I just installed and reinstalled EP 1.5, and still I have no sound from it. The memory indicator shows zero, which would lead me to believe that the problem is in its finding the library (I experienced a similar problem with Akoustik Piano). However, in that I am installing along all defaults, one would expect there should be no such problem.
    Has anyone else in the NI family experienced this problem?How did your solve it? Should I just wait for the hotfix?

    Hi,

    On startup it always reads 0 for memory.

    Click on the file button, do you see a list of patches displayed?

    Cheers

    zero the list

    Thanks, Bob.

    I am very familiar with NI instruments, which is to say: I have pulled down the list and selected various patches. To clarify: the memory reads zero even after individual programs or/and performances are loaded.

    However, I can play the songs via Kontakt 2 vs 2.2.1

    Hi,

    When you select a patch do you get the progress bar moving as it loads the samples?

    Cheers

    Is the path to your library listed in the options menu correct?
    Are you talking standalone or plugin?

    Hi Ew,

    Would he see the patch list if the lib location was wrong?

    I seem to remember when installing the 1.5 version you needed to install so it was a sub folder of the original "Elektrik Piano Library" folder then it can use the samples from the original version.

    Cheers

    Progress indicator flashes

    Q-"When you select a patch do you get the progress bar moving as it loads the samples?"

    The progress bar flashes quickly. I'm using an Intel Quad-extreme PC; where have PC users placed their EP librarie(s)?

    Hi,

    Ok it looks like the patches are there but it cannot find the samples.

    On my pc the structure looks like this:

    Electrik Piano Library
    --Instruments
    --Instruments 1.5
    --Instruments Kontakt 2
    --performances
    --performances 1.5

    The 3 large sample files *.nks are in the Electrik Piano Library folder

    Hope this helps

    Andy

    Naked in the folder

    I found a fix:

    I set the EP library files "naked" in the Native Instruments folder. I had previously tried to reassign the path to address the EP 1.5 folder to no avail. Now the files are loading in and playing, at least.

    SIDizzout!!!

    That was your problem. You should have set it to the EP library folder; and not the EP 1.5 library subfolder of that folder. 1.5 uses the samples from the original, which is why you're told to leave the old one on when you install.
