Adjusting preload buffers (feature request)
Access times on SSDs are a tiny fraction of those on conventional hard drives, approaching 100x performance improvements. Accordingly, a modern system with good architecture and SSDs will be able to sample stream far more efficiently than before. However, VSL players are at the moment restricted by having preload buffers than cannot be modified, so users are unable to take any advantage from SSDs. I appreciate that having a fixed conservative value results in few glitches and problems, but buy making a new adjustable setting default to its current (hidden) value, I think there would be very little - if any - negative impact. It's an under the hood switch for power users on SSDs, and others need not touch it (indeed Kontakt 4.2 currently works very well using this method). I've recently found myself reluctant to purchase new VSL libraries because of this limitation. The potential gains for an all-SSD system are enormous if the player is optimised, and there appear to be no disadvantages if implemented correctly. I'd be grateful if VSL could look into adding this feature both on regular and VI-Pro players as soon as possible - many thanks.

Great news, that would be very useful to those of us using SSD (my vienna stuff is already on one).

So that means probably that if I assemble an Intel 2600K based 16 gb ram daw, I can manage even a large orchestra with a single computer? Exiting news!
What exactly can we expect on that line. Kontakt already works nicely at 6kb (=90% less then Vsl).
