Tom, You've probably looked at these issues...but thought I'd throw them out there anyway. How do you have the polyphony set in the EXS window....how many voices? It's a really simple thing but sometimes overlooked.... when it's set to something like 12 or even 32 for a piano part, you can experience note cut-offs. Push it up to 64 the pedal runs polyphony through the roof. Another thing....if you're running other EXS instruments in addition to your Old Lady RAM could be an issue. 2 gig isn't that much these days. Try freezing your Old Lady track or doing an offline bounce....and see if the note cut- offs are still there. If they're not, I suspect ram. my 2 cents.... julie www.julielarson.net
