    Gerard,,,

    Does Plogue support 64 bit addressing ....so I can use the full 8 gig of RAM in my 2nd G5?

    it was explained to me that no program that uses the graphic interface - meaning no program that isn't Unix text-based, i.e. no program that we'll ever use - has 64-bit addressing. Only Terminal programs can be 64-bit.

    Actually, it's supposed to be possible to program hybrids, but nobody has done that yet (as far as I know).

    I've been using Plogue on a PC and it works great. At some point I'll run it on a second G5 to host more VI's.

    Nick....

    I bought plogue and it occurred to me that since Logic has a 4 gig RAM limit...

    So does plogue .......Soif I run plogue and Logic on my main machine, each program can run circa 4 gig of VIs, so on one machine I can utilise 8 gigs worth right?

    There is currently no way (so far I know) to address more than 4GB RAM in Panther or Tiger. The limit will fall probably with Leopard the same applies I guess with Windows Vista. Well in the meantime you have to work with 4GB inside of an application (that's why the made the VI server AU stuff I guess again [H] ?!)

    best, imusic

    Imusic...

    That is my point since within Logic it is 4 gig...

    Shouldn't there be another 4 gig for Plogue Bid?

    Yes, each program has 4GB (3GB or so in the real world). The question is whether the system will be stable running that way.

    Well....

    I will let you know in some hours....loading up massive amounts of RAM now [;)]


    BUT check my other post..

    I only need 1 program (L7) to access the 8 gig as long as 4 gig are Vienna Instruments and the other 4 are exs24 Vienna [;)]

    VSL Server has it's own memory it does not load into memory of Logic...

    I think this will work...If it does I will have great use for all the old EXS vienna stuff.

    If i weren't having horrendous problems getting an external SATA drive I'm installing to work, I'd be able to see for myself...

    I thought I'd just post that I use Rax for hosting VSL VI's. it's quite flexible.
    I route midi via IACBUS, and run Rax at 250 samples audio buffer.

    So I can switch from one Logic song to another without having to wait ages for samples to load..

    I posted a very long post on Sonikmatter.
