Re: [exs] Free Spectrasonics library if you can figure this out first!

Hi Eric,

I'm afraid I only have dissapointing news for you.
As Robert J Grierson allready said, you can only play one virtual instrument
in realtime. That's a limitation of Logic. The reason seems to be making
Logic more CPU efficient. You should know that all virtual instrument tracks
*only* playing back are switched to a higher buffersize, only the selected
instrument is switched to lower buffersizes to make it possible playing them
in realtime.
While this is very efficient in terms of CPU saving, it makes using multiple
virtual instruments in realtime impossible.
Also cabling any environment objects to those instruments doesn't bring any
cure. It's allways only the first connected instrument which will be
realtime playable (the one getting its signal from cable #1).
On playback however everything is fine as Logic will automatically
compensate latencies, no matter if the instrument track is *activated* or
not.

Hey, there's one good thing about it: You don't have to give a library away
for free :-)
(Apart from that, most people here are nice, they would help you with your
problems without a price anyways.)

Regards,
Sascha
