Let's say I start the day with 3200mb of ram avail to VI (hosting in VE Pro slaves). Then, as I load/audition patches, the available "memory free" gets smaller and smaller. But it NEVER goes back up! ???
Shouldn't unloading/removing a patch also remove it from the memory used? In the old days of hardware samplers (hell, software samplers too), unloading a patch reclaimed the available memory. If I am exploring (some would call it fishing) for the right sound, at some point (usually very quickly) I now have to:
1. save all project and viframe data;
2. save and close the host;
3. restart the slave machine;
4. Load the session...
5. repeat as needed.
Serious waste of my time. Shouldn't the software be smart enough to recapture ram that's no longer being used? Is this a feature or a bug? MacOS VI 5132, VE Pro 5436 as well as beta 5814.
