    Hey Folks,

    I heard that forte was, but can't find it in the documentation. I don't need a sequencer, just a host for VI...

    Best regards,

    Dear Eric,

    Forte is, if you make sure you download the most recent patch (has been since around Q4 2006). Also make sure you have the /3GB switch turned on. I have found it to be very reliable in use, and run it standalone on 4 PCs.

    Kind Regards,

    Nick.

    Dear Nick -

    That's great - thanks very much for your reply. Now, if I can just get my computer to see the 4 GB of RAM, I should be in good shape. [:D]

    Best regards,

    Eric

    Hi Elksman,
    You should search this forum for Mattias Henningson's threads on the 3GB switch. I think most of your questions will have answers here. You can also contact Mattias directly at www.musikbanken.se , or look up his article in the June/July 2006 issue of virtual instruments (www.virtualinstrumentsmag.com).

    You'll need to make a simple edit to your boot.ini file to boot up with the switch active. Mattias also has a small app you can download that checks the LAA status of any exe your using, and can set the necessary header bit.
    Several of us have used this material with good results.

    Best of luck.

    Regards,
    Peregrine
