Hi Paul,
Merry Christmas VSL: first let me thank VSL so much to provid us such wonderful new toys under the 2017 Christmastree 😃
Currently I am just testing how to load the Libraries best:
OK with 8192 Preload buffer (as Paul already recommended) I need 46 GB RAM to have all currently available Synchron String + Percussions loaded (and enabled!) .Having in mind that there are still Ram-intensive Legato patches of Violins2 and Violas (Basses?) Sordinos, Woodwinds and Brass missing this would force me to either to start with all cells disabled projects, enabling always only those patches I need or to double once again my hardware-power to keep a complete synchron-Orchestra loaded.
If lower Preloadbuffer sizes (like Preloadbuffer 4096 => 29GB RAM for all Full SynchronStrings+Perc, or Preloadbuffer 3172 => 25 GB ) will ever be reasonable usable with Full Libraries on an i7 7820X (3,6 GHz 16 Threads)- 128GB + 2TB SSD System, I would be not so afraid anymore for the rest of the Synchronseries.
Because I dont want to do projects which I would be able to do much better simply if I had waited one or another day, I would like to know befor I really start to work with it:
1) When do we get the missing Legatos of Violins 2, Violas (and Basses - if there will be some) ?
2) When do we get the Synchron-Player ?
3) How "encouraging" have been the Test-Results with Full Synchron-Libraries running with Preloadbuffer 4096 or 3172 on Systems like that (i7 7820X- 128GB-RAM + 2TB SSDfor Sample-Storage (+ 1TB System-SSD)) ? Is it completly unrealistic or just more or less a bit in danger to get problems with "insane Tutti-Chords" ?
4) Does the Synchronplayer bring any further Performance or RAM-economic advantages?
hope you do have nice Holydays but nevertheless perhaps will find still a moment for a short answer to my questions.
best
Steffen
