EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

As I mentioned in the past, the The Grand does not function properly in
Logic. I haven't tested it in 5.2 yet, but it failed miserably in 5.1.
Regardless, you'll be much better off with the EXS version.

Hey All,

More sample CD news for us EXSers:

 http://www.harmony-central.com/Newp/2002/Platinum24-Grand-Piano.html

It seems Wizoo is releasing a double CD Rom set of piano samples from
the ones used in Steinberg's "The Grand" VSTi. It is coming in, among
other formats, EXS format! I wonder how it will stack up to the VSTi
version. It seems to be reasonably priced at $139 US.

The Grand works fine with Logic.  It's just really hungry.  You need 
a very fast processor and lots of memory.  I'm running it on a 1.5 
Ghz P4 with 1 Gb of memory.  That said this is the best sounding 
computer based piano I've ever heard.  The feature I love the most 
is sympathetic resonance effect you get when you hold the sustain 
pedal down.  I doubt this can be recreated with just EXS based 
samples alone.  I would guess there's some special code in the Grand 
VST plug-in to get this to work.

It has serious sustain and ASIO problems on my dual 800Mhz Mac. Admittedly,
you've got more horsepower, but my computer should be adequate and it's not.
I have 1.5 MB of RAM.

I agree.  It should run great with that.  Sounds like a Steinberg 
problem with their Mac version.  I hope they fix it.  Maybe it's 
only optimized for the P4?  I had the same problem with my old 400 
Mhz G3.
