More when using certain instruments? Or playing chords? With yoshimi I get no xruns at all while playing 3-4 note chords with the left hand plus a melody line with the right hand. This is true even with my most complex patches. With the most recent versions, I only see xruns while changing instrument patch at the same time as actually playing notes (which is a pretty daft thing to do). > Especially when I switch instruments and play chords, is quite simple > sometimes to reach to 1000 xruns in a few minuts...

Are the other apps synths or sample players? and do you drive them directly from the keyboard? P.S. Just done some test and I can create xruns if I use my most processor intensive patches 'hyper matrix' and 'master synth low', but to do this I have to play quite fast fully chorded, which is really not what these patches are intended for. Both of these are four instrument voice 'kits' with long release times and significant extra effects.
