Mellotronists

Hi Babz,

I use M-Tron regularly with Sonar 3 Producer Edition (on a Toshiba Satellite 
1900-102, ram: 512), and I've never (so far) run into this problem. But the 
VSTi is a bit harsh on the resources, so I had to adjust the buffers. That 
solved the problem. You may want to give Sonar a spin (there's a downside 
though - the software is nearly $1000).

Regards,

D
