Terry, I think the best option for you is having a look at some more modern libraries than the ones you have before you even start thinking about setting up a template. As much as I love the Roland libraries (on which Edirol Orchestral is based), they are very dated by now and if you want to get into composing for games and other media you really need to up your game in terms of samples. The Sonivox strings that you are dismissing are more than a decade old yet far superior to anything else you have except maybe VSCO2 CE. Personally I wouldn't use Virtuoso 2000 at all unless I was going for a retro-sounding composition (and TBH, E-MU's orchestral samples weren't the best even in their day). I'm sorry for sounding negative here but I would really advice against setting up a template with that stuff if you want to do contemporary work. Hell, there are freebies that run circles around Edirol Orchestral these days.
