EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

i dont have any problems with lots of samples at all. drums are 
just fine, cpu-wise. its a bit limited in the amount of parts i can 
get (virtually) firing at any one time. the biggest hassle to me 
seems to be polyphony. theres no doubt judging by my cpu 
monitor that a bunch of the sounds on xtreme analog EAT my 
cpu - those big pad sounds? im lucky to have a 4 note chord 
move into another four note chord without the audio stuttering to 
a halt, and even thats only possible with just that one audio 
instrument part happening! (how retro is that? a monotimbral 
synth!) im using a pb pismo 500, with the emi2/6 (im not 
impressed with the asio driver!) ive tweaked and trimmed my 
system as much as possible. mostly the area which trips me up 
is the balance between latency and roomy cpu. my ears cant 
handle the latency which some people seem to be ok with, so i 
have no option but to get the latency settings down as far as 
possible, which of course means less power being allocated to 
cpu efficiency. (why such a powerful collection of technology that 
is the pb 500/logic audio/exs combo cant outperform a dedicated 
hardware synth is beyond me) regardless of the time, energy, 
and ingenuity i throw at this system i have a daily hassle with 
interrupted workflow and plain old untogether grooves...grrr.
