Got 3 gig of ram installed in the Cubase/vsti comp as per DJ's advice for
Ivory (that's the most my mobo will take). All I can say is WOW! The Steiny
with all the voices is the ticket. No glitches whatsoever. Thanks Deej!

Ivory may be able to use it but I would be curious what your actual RAM
usage is when running Ivory, and if you are using the /3G switch to access
above 2G, or if it just stabilizes Win/Cubase when using over 1.2G.
WinXP limits apps to 1.2G. With 2G, supposedly the /3G switch also bumps
the 2G usage to 1.7G for apps, and of course is supposed to open up 3G
usage. Nuendo has issues above 1.2G that cause instability, corrupt
projects, etc, though there is an error handler in Nuendo now (I assume
Cubase too) that usually allows you to save your project to a new file if it
detects this problem. It is an annoyance, and can be problematic with large
sample libraries (orchestral here, using NI's DSD, so it may not be as much
of an issue with piano libraries - single instrument, different streaming
technique, etc).

Dedric

Rod,
Run don't walk to the web or a local store where they are blowing out yamaha
P-60 consumer digital pianos.
The action hand's down blows away every controller I have ever played, including
my Yamaha acoustic. They are being blown out for under $600 bucks. Yes
it has build in sounds and speakers, but nobody will make you use them :-)

Well thanks for that tip also. I wouldn't have thought of that.
