When I bought RMX I had an idea that it would be cool to use on stage on a laptop as part of improvised performances. But I soon found out it is too CPU demanding and unstable for that. I also felt bit lame to use those pre recorded drum sounds live so I thought I would either make the drumming by vocal beatboxing or other percussive sounds made by flute. But RMX is really good for producing recorded music and that's how I use it. I only use it as AU plug-in i Logic and in all ways; in "groove mode" as well as in "slice mode". I use all kinds of randomizations, both the chaos machine and the buzz. I also record and make my own RMX files from sessions with hand drum percussionists and myself playing guitar. Especially funky rhythm guitar is very creative to have pre-recorded as RMX files when working on a studio production and you want to try out those kind of patterns. Yes, I drag MIDI patterns ("slice" or "groove mode" type of MIDI sequences) from RMX onto dedicated channels in Logic. Quite often I use all available eight RMX channels and I bring out the audio as multichannel; so each drum comes up on its own channel in Logic's mixer. That's because I don't like the library sounds much and want to process them with Logic's effects to give it a new touch. I think RMX is a genius studio production tool. The feel you get when applying a slight amount of randomization to all eight drum tracks is something really unique. I've never "run out of memory" because of RMX. But I must say that I'm not sure what you mean by that expression? Maybe that's because I'm using Logic, since Logic's sampler works in a way that if RAM is getting short it dumps some of the samples and starts streaming them from the hard drive instead of keeping it all in the RAM.
