I've only seen screen shots. Never actually used it. My first encounter with Logic was with LE 6.4 Anyway, I agree, the GUI of Pro 8 is so much better than any of their previous versions. Although it's almost reminiscent of the Ableton Live DAW. As far as the parameters go for Sculpture, shoot me an email at michael@masmodmedia.com, and from there I can send you some screen shots of the parameters in sculpture. I might even have an earlier preset saved, so I could possibly include that as well. If you can recreate the crash as well, then I think it'll have to be documented as an official bug. ;) Wow, Audio Platinum 4? I’ve only seen screen shots. Never actually used it.

Are there any specific parameters that seem to cause the crash? I have been through every version of Logic since Audio Platinum 4, waaaaay back in the day. :-) Each one has been an improvement. Logic 7 was good, but I haven't had any stability issues with Pro 8 and I really prefer the new UI. My workflow is much more intuitive.

What happens is it locks up, then logic quits, and then when I try to refer to the saved progress preset later on, it acts as if it's corrupted, and logic quits again. Ultimately I have to delete that preset, and start from scratch. Initially I thought it was just my setup, but I later concluded that the issue was on Logic's end. My conclusion was solidified when I was able to walk a Logic support tech through remaking the incident over the phone, although he played it off that he had "too many programs running in the background, and that's why it quit on him." For me, I had just Logic running, and I'm running that on an Intel based Quad core Mac Pro, which uses virtually no CPU what-so-ever. Anyway, I think the problem might possibly be with Logic Studio Pro 8. I've heard that Logic 7 was really solid. Unfortunately I never had the privilege of using Logic 7. Are you still using Logic 7? Anyway, thanks again for the feedback. Let me know if you end up using those parameters for anything. I'd love to hear it. :) @Heuristic Music

The EXS24 is technically a much better sampler, but I understand how it feels to lose a tool that you're comfortable with. I'd like to hear more about the alleged bug in Sculpture. I have been using it since the release of Logic 7 with no issues. Sculpture is definitely not the synth to use if you want analog sounds, but it excels at creating warped impressions of acoustic instruments. It looks like you found a good solution with ES2. Thanks for the nice little tutorial on kick programming! That is the first time I have ever heard anyone lament the loss of the EXSP24!
