if anyone knows about the Native Instrument player for Garritan Personal

There was a bunch of discussion on this when the duals first arrived. 

It should be in the archives if you can work out a funky search query.

What I recall is that Max/MSP/Jitter didn't actively support multi- 

processors, but that *threads* could find themselves distributed 

between processors. So (if my memory isn't too far off), you might 

find your MSP thread on one processor and the scheduler, etc. loaded 

Don't take my word for it. Try something like "dual processor threads 

msp OR jitter joshua-kit-clayton site:synthesisters.com" in Google. 

Or forum search for the year when the first DPs arrived.
