First of all,
To be honest,
I wasn't that much impressed with the samples, but for the money, I
didn't feel it was a wast. GPO works better if no solo part, to my
ear. I think I will still reach my two of K2600Rs for orchestra
simulation, but GPO sure will be handy when I an on the load.
Now
Yes, it is horrible. But it runs very nice on my $350 Dell Dimension
2400.

Hi Chuck,

that the Tiger update is on its way soon. That is good to know and

My problem with GPO is the Kontact engine. It doesn't load many
instruments before the sound cracks up on a Mac. I find Reason to be
much more efficient. Mind you, Reason doesn't have those nice
Keyboard Switches that GPO has where you can change samples (e.g.,
arco to pizz to trem. etc.)
Hi Karen, Darcy, Hiro et al,
It seems you guys are likely to be right!
GPO has been running overnight - without the Formac TV, and it and my
Mac have remained stable, with the GPO usage remaining at about 16%
in the activity monitor. So all those background crashes of the

End of day report:
Worked w/Finale GPO all day - no Formac TV, and a few minutes ago
(about 6:30 PM), GPO choked up again. The Activity Monitor was
showing that it was back to using 70% + of the CPU.
Quit restart GPO - redo MIDI in Finale (only takes a couple of
minutes) and again,

The other and more practical way is to run Shark against GPO if you have

I have asked about this before, and not been able to resolve the
problem despite suggestions from Darcy and Hiro, so I simply put up
with it and re-boot whenever necessary. But there's something wrong,

Hi Chuck,
Jerry's right, just quit GPO Studio when that happens, and everything
should go back to normal. Although I have only seen what you describe
once, and that was on 10.3.9 (I'm waiting for 10.4.2 before installing
Tiger). And I frequently leave GPO Studio running in the background

If you're just doing parts, you don't need GPO playback anymore, right?
Why not quit GPO Studio after extracting parts?

Can GPO address more than 2GB RAM?
