"players" that EastWest >> and others use Hi, Please find after a bug report on Kontakt/Kompakt and QLSO I have been experiencing those bug with Logic. But I have read the Cubase, DP and prootols users are having a lot of problems too. Today QLSO player is unusable, Kontakt is better but it is still dangerous to use it as Logic may crash anytime if you go over the 2 GB limit Best regards Cyril Blanc Independent Quantum Leap Symphony orchestra forum (QLSO) for Mac http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qlso/"; A6 Andromeda forum : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/A6_andromeda/"; Petition : ³Support of the APPLE LaserWriter 300 in MAC OS X² http://www.PetitionOnline.com/Ap1c1/petition.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- QLSO Platinum : - There is a lot of articulation missing like : Piz for viola, ³up and down bow type ³articulations for cello and double bass .... - Key switched program are a not homogenised in one instrument category - Documentation is hopeless compared to the one of VSL - No legato tools - Voice polyphony problems with fast parts (this problem is also listed in Kontakt as I don¹t know who is responsible for it) Kontakt 1.5.2 problems with Logic on a G5 2x2 List of bugs/improvements needed : - Memory handling ; -- the memory used increase while you play ; goes to a Logic crash if you are on the 2 GB limit -- VM is not allocated during load ; this give core audio overload -- When you load a song that has been created on another computer with other DFD settings Logic is crashing -- I have put the DFD parameters to maximum, load my test song instead to get a low memory message Logic is crashing ! - Very slow loading (10 minutes to load my autoload song) - Take ages to find the samples when importing a song from another computer ; this function need improvement - After I have play around 30 minutes of my Logic t est song I get an Error of sync between Midi and Audio. - playing Fast notes are having problems (use more than 120 voices) i.e. tympani roll ! - Not enough voices - Key switches using the EXS format does not work - Simplify DFD settings depending of CPU and disk - Automation parameters are not in clear Kontakt Stand alone : -- dead loop when changing midi channels in the pref KOMPAKT Standalone 1) a few times I had a dead loop, in the log I had a lot of : *** malloc: vm_allocate(size=8421376) failed (error code=3) *** malloc[894]: error: Can't allocate region This appends when you go in the setup menu If my memory is good that was a bug of a previous version of Kompakt. 2) When you play with the mouse on the keyboard of the SO instrument you get click when you release the key 3) When I load 1 SOSTRING + 1 SOBRASS+ 1 SOWIND with the multi I have send and I play on the keyboard there are the following problems * the sound is horrible * One of the module had just 2 outputs ( the other have 14 outputs) SO String in Logic on a G5 2x2 I use the C 18V Key switch C0-D0 I have a part in the test song starting at 1682 to 1713 for the violin 1 where the violin is playing ³double croches² at tempo 146 The voice counter goes up to 33 playing one note at a time, when I reduce the voice limit the sound is no so good. Logic problems : - I get DFD noises - Logic does not launch the autoload song - When I load a song with a SOSTRING and a SOBRASS in one song, Logic crashes Using Kompakt - When you change the ³Kompakt² to no-plug ins a multi-instrument Logicis crashing
