MS2 long delay responding to notes played
I recently upgraded to MS2 on my macbook. I had been using MS1 for a fairly complex virtual instrument rig for live work with a Pink Floyd tribute band.
So far every time I've launched MS2, it eventually becomes unresponsive to notes played. If a note sounds at all, it is several seconds late - perhaps 10 seconds. This is hard to time, because sometimes notes don't sound at all. It remains unresponsive like this for a period of time (perhaps 1-5 minutes) and then typically "comes back".
The last time it did this, I was playing a part that included both notes and pitch bend movements for an EXS24 instrument. It seemed like it may have stuck on a pitch bend movement.
This is a 2.16Ghz macbook (fall 2007) with 4GB RAM (it can use 3.3 of this), with an Apogee duet and a Novation Remote Zero as control surface and midi input from a Yamaha S90 keyboard. Samples are on an external USB2 drive.
Thanks,
John
