That's what I do till I need to run another song. Works great, as you say. >You have to have EXS virtual memory turned on. >Once it is you can have many more instruments loaded whose total ram >requirements far exceed that of your physical ram. It seems to work >well. Oooohhhh! I didn't know about this till just now. Seems I already had it checked but it seems to point to another issue I've been encountering. I hit play on a song and it goes a bar or two in and then stops. Get an error message something like "Not read from disk in time" or something like is mentioned on the virtual memory page of the EXS. I'm reluctant to mess with it now 'cause I have a job tomorrow and I have been using a work around that gets me through the gig. I'll check it out after I get past this weekend's work. Perhaps I'll find a solution to that problem. Man, there's a lot to these virtual instruments.

Maybe, but I don't own either and I haven't caught up from buying Logic 7 & my G4 laptop. New purchases are definitely not on the current agenda here. :-) Thanks for your help, Paul. -- Doug
