Even if the app only uses 2 GB, it would still be useful to have 4 which could be used for the OS, and other apps. If that is a limitation, we could expect it would be a likely one to address in an upgrade. If I were buying a system today, I'd get 2 x 256 SIMMS that come with it, and after a burn-in period, remove that memory and install 8 x 1GB chips from crucial.com. Scott

No, and Andrea from Redmatica explained this to me definitively, including links to the Apple site. Each program in Panther and tiger can access 4GB of RAM. If you look at Activity Monitor with Logic (including EXS) loaded up to its breaking point, you'll find it gets up to 3.17GB or so (that's the max on my machine); the remainder of the 4GB is "overhead" and doesn't show up in that figure, but it's being used. You can't work at that point - about 2.5GB is a practical maximum. That's still pretty good, because it's two Giga or Kontakt machines plus Logic, and you can run other programs in the rest of the RAM. I was able to run a Kontakt 2 outside Logic, but unfortunately the processor load was too high at that point (since I had two Space Designers open); I'm going to do some more fooling around to see whether that can be made to work. Whether installing more RAM would solve that (I have 5GB) is another question. In any case, this is not 64-bit memory access. That's only for command-line programs at this point; the GUI hasn't been adapted for 64-bit access yet.

Hi. I'm happy to present: SampleTekks Vertikal - The Piano Alternative There are so many sampled pianos on the market today and you as a musician have the benefit to be able to choose from the multitude of different brands and sounds. Most, or nearly all, of the sampled pianos are great, wonderful grand pianos like Steinway's, Bosendorfer and other truly amazing instruments. But, sometimes you need something different. Let's face it, you wouldn't choose Pavarotti to sing rock and roll, would you? Also, you probably wouldn't let Robert Plant sing "La Boheme"... Mind you, it probably would sound great in a way, but it's probably not what you're after! Most of the sampled pianos on the market today are "Pavarotti's", but if you want a "Plant"-piano you don't have that many chooses, until now! The Vertikal is a upright piano recorded and designed to do the job when you need that little extra "umpf" in your songs. It can be rock, blues, jazz, gospel or anything that needs the extra attitude. Shortly, when you need something not that "grand". The Vertikal has the normal SampleTekk standard, that means 16 recorded velocity samples pedal up, 16 pedal down and 16 releasesamples. Also included are inpulses of pedal down and instrument resonance to use with convoluting reverb as Gigapulse or Kontakt 2 Vertikal will ship June the 15:th and wioll be priced $150. VERTIKAL PREORDER OFFER!!! If you preorder your Vertikal before June 15:th, you will pay only $99, BUT if you are among the first 100 customers, you pay only $50!!!!! If you are among customers 101-200, you pay only $75!!!! Check the current pricelevel at our online store!!! To buy or for more info, go to www.sampletekk.com Best, Per "Worra" Larsson SampleTekk

Each program can access 4GB, but you won't get readings of 4GB in A.M.; the max reading before crashing was 3.17GB for me.

are there any good rompler libraries for the EXS24, something that kind of mimics a hardware rompler, like a JV2080. Paul

I don't seem to have nearly that many. I think my problem is that I am new to EXS and I don't have the correct hierarchy of folders and audio files that correspond to the.exs instruments in the proper places. I am trying to get it all figured out. Thanks for your suggestion.

Thanks for your suggestion. You could try running the free EXS Manager demo downloadable from: http://www.redmatica.com/Site/Pages/Download.php It's got me out of trouble a few times. Andris

It's like waking up in the morning and having several cars to choose from to get into. If its a warm summer day with a cool breeze I choose the convertible. It's just the better choice for the day at hand. I write music professionally and I never know what a client will throw at me today. So if I have several oboes to choose from I think they are getting a better deal. That, and I have to admit I am a bit of a 'sound' junkie. :) -Terry Michael huud www.Music4TheMovies.com

Hi all Is there any way to convert some of my exs library to soundfonts for use with dsl music device in Sibelius in OS 10.4? I have Translator and CDXtact but can't get them to do it. TIA for any advice. Regards Brian

On at least Translator's part, feel free (that is, feeling free, rather than being free, which is two totally different things - never mind, my mind is spinning from seeing Star Wars)... feel free to send in the program plus samples to Translator's Bug Report site (and no, that isn't the most popular site on the web... =)) Garth Hjelte Sampler User

>> do u make better music with your 30000 sound library? Following a musical idea that wants to arise, I don't see the purpose of limitations built into an already paid application besides disc space, just to sell an upgrade

Now, why would Markus be annoyed? Does he get a kick out of posting silly things? Or could it be that he runs into this limitation, and maybe there's something you don't know? is it possible that this is a very real issue for everyone who has the Vienna Symphonic Library (the full version)?

Following situation: Let's say You create a simple song like this in Logic (my current version is 6.4) : 1st Track: EXS Instrument :Guitar - 4 bars 2nd Track: EXS Instrument: Piano - 4 bars Iet's say you really like this and decide to copy it into a different song. Of course you want to keep the particular instruments. I select those tracks and copy them into the clipboard. I load the "different " song and paste those tracks to a certain position. Everything is fine with one exception: the EXS instruments are EMPTY. Guitar and Piano are gone . Of course i tried to select those tracks ,created a folder and copied and pasted it : Same Results. May be somebody has an idea how to fix this. Thanks so much to all of you Best Markus
