Steinway uses 10 times more RAM than Bösendorfer

[julien breval]

Hello

I have the VSL Synchron Pianos D-274 and Bösendorfer Imperial, running on a 2019 Core i7 Macbook at the moment

Here is an example when using 3 stereo microphones (Room-Mix, Tube, Mid 1):

D-274 loads 58626 samples taking 7.16 GB

Imperial loads 64986 samples taking 0.74 GB

(MacOS Activity Monitor shows comparable results)

Is it normal? What happens?

Thanks

[Bill]

Are they both the same version, i.e., Standard or Full?

Both full versions, but just I found why it happened: you can actually set a different Preload Size for each Synchron piano, I completely forgot about that
