Yes it is. Only in my case, without occasional playback errors that stop
Logic and thus stop the exs updating.

Sure. For me, if Logic is playing and the exs is searching for samples or
loading big samples, Logic's playback gets delayed as the disk interrupts
slow down playback, so Logic complains of lost sync or a sample rate change
or something (I forget offhand). Logic is rock solid otherwise, and I can
get a pretty good performance on my p3-600...

Cool. I'm just saying for *me*, the cycle way doesn't work as well, so I
posted this for anyone else who *may* have experienced a similar problem.

Yep.
