Virus TI polyphony in multi or Seq mode?

[callen]

Hi guys, and gals. I just received my TI. Having been a Virus fan for many years this is trully a dream come true. This piece is a true beast. I have also made it a point to sign up to this forum, obviously, as I feel we may have a common interest.

I have but one question. I recently started my first project in Logic Pro 7.2.3 using my TI. I have my buffer set to 256, which has never caused an issue. I am running this on a dual 2.7 G5 PPC, 5.5GB ram. The project currently consists of Stylus RMX running a single drum loop and 3 channels of Viral wonder. Each of the 3 programs ranks around a 3 in terms of complexity. If I have all 3 programs playing at once, two arps one melody, I get dropouts on the melody line. These are very odd because the note begins to sound but is then cut short. Sound quality is otherwise fine, no glitching or scratching.

Is this the limit of multi mode or sequencer mode polyphony? I hope not, it cant be. I realize the patches I am using are not simple one osc afairs, but only 3 sounds running at once? I am hopping someone points out a garing issue. What are you guys averaging for number of patches playing simultaneous ?

Thanks for the input,
Callen
