EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hi Franklin,
Try playing just a few bars over and over...keep playing through the 
stalls...see if playback improves with each play.  My experience is 
that is does.  Not just on this piano...but other instruments as well.

Don't know if this is your issue...but that little test will tell you.  
If your playback improves...this is a memory handling issue.  OSX 
handles memory much differently than 9.  I get a lot more sputtering 
with OSX... 9 just seemed to function until I  maxed it out....But X 
keeps allotting more memory.  It's as though it has to decide to load 
each sample in real time...but if you just keep plugging...eventually 
the sputtering stops... and playback is fine.  But the process begins 
again if you quit logic.   I've been meaning to ask the group if anyone 
else is experiencing this...or if there's some command somewhere that 
will circumvent this laborious task.

other things to consider:

What audio card are you using?
How much ram are you allotting to Logic?
Are you using bunches of plug-ins?
Are your samples on an external drive?

I was a beta tester for PMI so I'm not sure what actually came on your 
CD...but I have a piano with 4 layers.  If you don't have that it would 
be easy enough to create.

Somehow I doubt the problem is your processor...and a gig of ram is 
enough...
