		Hi Franklin,

			I have the exact hardware as you..except for the Metric Halo stuff. 
Seems Emagic
doesn't recommend using Firewire Audio boxes with Firewire Hard Disks 
for streaming audio.
		Try:     a) moving the PMI to an internal audio partition, if you 
have one.The Ti500 has a clunky
				Firewire implementation compared to subsequent PBks.
			  b) Changing to CoreAudio  (In Logic) and using the internal audio 
instead of the Metric   				Halos.
			  c)   enabling larger disk buffers and large (or jumbo) process 
buffers in Logic.

			  d)  Use Diskwarrior to fix and optimize directories
		
			  e)	repair OSX disk permissions using the boot disk
	
			  f) from the ESX24II plugin window, limit polyphony to 32 or 24 
voices

		I have had a few problems with the pianos with release-trigger 
samples, try the 8 layer no release for starters.
                                  HTH,
				Good Luck,
						Jeff
