[Fmpro] Anyone using the QLSO ?????

Thu May 1 03:56:20 GMT 2008

Hi Louis,

well actually from what i understand, Platinum XP as it is sold today  
will simply not work on an Intel Mac, unless you own Kontakt 2 or 3 as  
Chris said. If not you'll either have to buy Kontakt, about 449$, or  
wait till the PLAY version of EWQLSO comes out.

The main differences between gold and Platinum from what i've read on  
the Soundsonline forums are:

Platinum: Many more articulations. 3 mic positions. 24 bit samples
Gold: Less articulations. 1 mic position. 16 bit samples
