I think it might produce some valuable information, and I urge anyone who has had a problem with their XSKey, whether it be a one time error message or complete failure to participate. The more info we can put forth, the more likely we are to see trends appear. In my case I have had 1 "XSkey not found" at bootup of Logic . . . . and 3 or 4 "XSKey no longer available, when trying to open songs from the recent files menu. The most recent incident . . the song in question had 3 or 4 audio files . . . 1 track of Virtual Guitarist, and 1 trck of LM4 MK II. Upon trying to open this song I was first greeted with the "no longer available" error . . . followed by an ASIO type 1 error. Now, I was trying to open this song immediately after working on another ram hungry song that featured The Grand. This is why I think these problems are memory or ASIO related from within the Logic program . . and in extreme cases, causing permanent corruption of the XSKey itself. In all my instances, simply restarting the program or the computer brought the XSkey back to life. looking forward to reading others' experiences, Jon --config-- Apple Dual 800 G4, 1.5 gigs ram, Mac OS 9.2.2, RME Hammerfall DSP, MOTU 2408, MOTU MTP AV (USB), OMS 2.3.8, Spirit 328 Digital Mixer/Controller, Apogee Converters (WC Master), ATI Radeon AGP, ATI Rage 128 (second monitor).
