EIC Grand Piano!

I finally installed the EIC Grand Piano after doing some extensive disk cleanup. It needs almost 4GB of disk space! Anyway, here's what I found:

1) De-fragment your disk! I was having trouble playing the Grand Piano preset without stuttering. The samples are stored in two huge files, which evidently were fragmented all over the place. While trying to play simple parts, the audio would stutter. CPU usage was very low, but the disk activity light was on alot. After de-fragging the drive, it almost plays perfectly.

2) It sounds much nice than the Grand Piano LE when listening in stereo (I'm using earbuds at home.) I really like it. However, as a test, I put the Mono Utility Device after the Grand Piano and compared it to the Grand Piano LE - there wasn't too much difference. Yet, the LE version taxes the system much less. So for playing live, where you're not sending stereo, you can save a lot of space and disk usage by just using the LE version. However, for making recordings, then you can swap the full version and get a really nice stereo image.
