sometimes when i try to add/rename screen set, add/rename preset, add/rename favorites in filebrowser, change poliphony.... my sfp crashed?

Do you use dual monitors? If so try enabling just one, and see if the problem goes away.
What pulsar mode do you use classic or OS?

Hi Sanrob,
I have the same problem with my sfp setup with winxp pro. Add to that my sts3000 keeps crashing the program as well. I can load it up all right, but try and change outputs for individual programs (and other settings as well) and down she goes taking sfp with it.
I went back to Pulsar and loaded a project with a sts3000 in it. It crashed Pulsar 3.01.
Some projects in sfp with a stst3000 in them will not even load. They report a serious error and close the whole thing down.
I reloaded sfp 3.1 and it did not fix any of the problems.
Add to these problems:
- Can't load akai programs from cd (which we all know about), and
- Can't save midi controller channel settings in the 2448 mixer and it looks like I,m in need of sfp 3.1 rev 1 asap.
Dont take this the wrong way, I am Creamware fan and I know in time we will all get over these teething problems, but its hard to get on with projects when you have such serious problems.
I have had to resort to HALion to get some things done.

i use one monitor in os mode/xp.

yes, mausmuso, i had almost the same problems and i make decision not to use any pulsars sampler anymore. spending expensive dsp for (bugy or not - anyway) samplers isn't good idea for me anymore - only problem is beacause nobody wants to buy sts3000 even for 49€
i tried ni-kontakt and i will buy it for sure, that's very comfortable sampler with low cpu usage - exactly for my needs.

most problems are gone with sts3000 but i still have this stability problem

Hi Sandrob,
Can't help you with your Pulsar bug, but I can tell you that Kontakt is fantastic ! I got it a few days ago. My only gripe is that if you're using it standalone you can't set a bpm rate with the effects or modulation - it has to get the rate from a host NI say maybe this will be an update...
Compared with the STS ? No comparison at all !
I'll be dropping many of my pulsar sounds into Kontakt since the CPU load is so light. Suddenly I'm fully polyphonic again

tips & trick: put your sts in garbage and save your nerves and dsp.

STS totally rules. The one issue I had with it is fixed. It is my main sampler and although I understand it's too difficult for some people, for me and many of my peers, it's the perfect sampler...

That's my opinion. And I also use a Kurzweil K2500XS (it's got keys )

i sold my emulator e4x-turbo with cd rom and jaz drive (without keys ) when i bought sts and giga. now i will buy kontakt but no one want to buy sts even for 45€?!

btw: do you try kontakt and can you compare with sts?!

<i>but no one want to buy sts even for 45€?! </i>

In case you didn't notice most people get this free with new cards... only the STS4k & 5K have slightly more demand, <i>if</i> people need those features. 4K has nice filter type additions, 5K has nice realtime stretching/pitchshifting. Both particularly fun when controlled with hardware knobs!

BTW the "text box" crash error is well known by CW and will be fixed. There are a few workarounds: Click ONCE, press F2 to edit. It won't crash. Or for selecting voices, right click, and select a voice from the pulldown menu that appears.
