I use it with two systems - Pro Tools HD on a dual 1G PowerMac with 1.5 G RAM and two 15,000 rpm ultra SCSI drives, and also on a 1G PowerBook with 1G Ram and 7,200 rpm firewire drives. No combination of disk drive or computer system has made any difference. By adjusting paramters within the Grand I have gotten it to barely passable, but I happen to like using the sustain pedal and the Grand does not agree with that! I have been unable to get a response from Steinberg about when they will fix this problem, but as it is now, the Grand is not operating on a professional level. If anyone has a different experience, please advise. - David

If you search the archives I think there will be many posts of Logic users having problems with the "so called" Grand. To get it to work at all I had to assign 500 meg to Logic which is a bad idea. It was extremely flaky. Steinberg have no support as such. Evemn if you could get them, can you imagine how they would answer "I have a problem wityh the Grand in Logic" Yes! "solution: use it with Cubase" I sold my The Grand to a Nuendo user who is very happy. I got the Wizoo EXS version and it works fine, though I now prefer the Splendid Grand. Which is splendid.
