    That's a different issue, Ben....

    The issue is not isolated to PLAY - all plugins load their data twice in Vienna Ensemble Pro since build 8008 I believe. At least I know it happens with Kontakt 4 + PLAY on PC. It doesn't result in greater memory usage, it is just annoying as a template with a lot of PLAY patches will take 50-100% longer to load than it should (if you have "background loading" turned on in Kontakt, it won't load the samples twice). I believe they (VSL) are looking in to it for the next build.

    Paul, and this version fixes the loading twice problem, I presume? Awesome! Thanks!

    Loading time is still terrible with PLAY v3.0.21 and the loading message window steals window focus every time a new sample is loaded. I hate PLAY with all my heart now.

    Loading with PLAY is actually very fast here, but that is from SSD.

    It's faster than before but still much slower than Play v2.1.2

    I have seen a big increase in loading speed from PLAY 2 from PLAY 3. I still like Kontakt more as a player (also because of all the extra routing abilities, settings, lower memory footprint etc.), but I can't complain about PLAY 3's loading from SSD. My template can be up and running within a couple of minutes now.

    After some more testing I'm still having the same issues as before with my setup (details in my sig). I'm unsure if its specific instrument presets that cause it. I did a clean Play install just to be sure. Created brand new template - same thing. Anyone else with ProTools on Win7 having these issues?

    Same here.. endless loading and if I touch the midi channel in play, it freezes.....

    I've noticed that some Play patches load lightning fast but some load either extremely slow or will halt to a stop. For example I'll make a ProTools session with 64-bit VEP server on another Win7 x64 machine and load any Bosendorfer grand patch. When reopening the session it'll load for ages and occasionally stop altogether. If, however, I try reopening a session with Yamaha C7 patch in it, it loads VERY fast.

    When, on Mac, it starts to go slow, either you have bad memory stick, either you starts to use VM because you have a lack of physical memory !

    I don't know about Windows, this could be something to check

    Is the Bosendorfer patch much bigger than the C7 patch ?

    Can you look at memory occupation ?
  • G

    Bosi is definitely larger, around x2 the size but Yamaha loads in ~ 5 seconds when Bosi can go for 5 min. When loading Bosi directly from Play interface it'll take around 10 sec but when loading previously saved ProTools session it'll either be super slow or get stuck. As I mentioned, some patches are OK and some aren't.

    How much memory is left when you  have loaded your PT session without Play ?

    Did you guys uninstall the previous version of VE Pro first before you installed. Do a clean install, I'm on Win 7 and PT 9 and it loads PLAY and Kontakt as it should now.

    Around 6 GB without Play, ~5.7 with Play. RAM was never an issue here. As suggested, tried complete reinstall of VEP on all machines and still get the same issue.

    is 5.7 Gb  without the piano loaded ?

    How much memory left with the bosendorfer loaded ?

    With W7, can you monitor memory during the load ?
