Does anybody already received the Box with EIC?

Like I said, I've not played around with it much yet (I was at The England match yesterday, waste of bloody tme that was), but I recall I had performance issues with Grand Piano, Grand Piano Lite and Grand Piano Ultra Lite too.

Will hopefully get a chance to play with it more today

Thanks for reply.
I see you have a MBP 17" have you got 1GB or 2GB RAM?
Live should give us the ability to load samples on RAM for EIC to avoid
HDD bottleneck.

2GB

I have tried it in Windows and OSX. I noticed in Windows that the memory usage for Live was only about 0.5Gb, not checked OSX yet

Have you chacked the RAM option in the simpler? This should avoid bottlenecks on HDD.

The Grand Piano notes play late when live playing or when recorded material is played back?

Was looking for the RAM button but couldn't find it for some reason.

It seems OK on playing back recorded material, just problems when playing live, though not like normal soundcard latency, as some notes were fine and others late.

Finally managed to render one of my songs with some of the EIC. It seems fine on playback, but I'm not happy with the playing on this song (I probably programmed it) so I'll try and redo it at some point with a keyboard.

Anyway, there's Grand Piano, Trumpet and String Ensemble in here somewhere...

Um, apologies to anyone who tried to download the song that I had accidently rendered with the vocals solo'd, resulting in silence for about 1 minute then just singing and bvox...it's not quite how I wanted to present myself.

All fixed now.

Thanks. Well done. I like it. Guess drums is not impulse I wonder where the bass sound comes from if not EIC. It terminates suddenly at measure 152, intended ?

Thanks for the comments Pasha.

It's probably cutting short because multiply is being rubbish, here's a complete version...

The drums are my Roland TD8, the bass is an acoustic guitar pitched down an octave.

The ending is the best bit, so hopefully you can hear it this time!
