EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Hello,

we recently played Roskilde rock festival using a Motu 828 Firewire 
interface , Logic Audio 4.7 running live EXS kits for our MIDI 
drummer to play on a Titanium G4...... It works fine , no latency but 
sometimes for no clear reason , the sound engine just seems to crash 
... we have to turn the interface off and on and things come back - 
simple enough reset , but absolute nightmare when your playing in 
front of 1500 people...... Is there any explanation for this? - what 
can we do to stop it happening in the first place? - Is it an over 
heating issue?


PS. Its *not* a MIDI crash....

its a problem of the "bad" firewire *** of the g4powerbook. it seems that a
cpu peak causes firewire (and/or usb) to crash. motu is finally (i had this
problem since day1 (march) but nobody @ motu or shop would believe me)
working on it. however, i don't know when and if there will be a fix ...

we are all professional beta testers!

cheers, 
fuzzi


*** just like the "bad" usb port of the titamium which leads to usb crash
just like the motu i have to unplug the mt4 ... but again EMAGIC is NOT
adressing this at the moment ...
