When I said in my previous message :
I have a friend of mine that played the "From the new world Symphony" from
Anton Dvorak on his G5 2x2 2 GB, only 350 MB of memory was used and Logic
was using less that a third of his CPU power.

This was using instrument with there "Basic set², those "Basic Set" includes
a lot of articulations :D

For Kompakt/QLSO/Kontakt :
I am waiting for the fixes of the DFD to see how many instruments I will  be
able to load.
Today with the DFD* setup to 48/96 248 voices I can play the "From the new
world Symphony" from Anton Dvorak on my G5 2x2 3.5 GB with a 410 GB Raid 0.
It is using much more CPU power than VSL ;o( but it sounds great :o)

I am building an environment using the best "key switched program" find in
QLSO Platinum library so :
* the key switches does not display in the score
* you can define an automatic UP/DOWN bow (one note up one note down)
* you can see in Logic what articulation you are using in clear ; you will
see in the ³Event list² : ³staccato², ³legato², ³UP/DOW bow² etc...

With one G5 2x2 you can do a lot. When the issue of the DFD* will be fixed I
would love to test one of your score on my G5 to see if it could play it.
(send one to blanc.cyril@...)

* DFD : for the one that are not using NI plug-ins ; this is the name for
the ³virtual memory² handle
