justanoldmuso, thanks for your contributions that are very informative. I think it's been established that this particular problem is not the kind of stuttering caused by a deficiency or bottleneck in the hardware or software; it is limited to Halion Sonic. The audio example did not sound to me like stuttering, shuttering, or shuddering, whichever it may be. Take a listen and see if you agree.
