    Hello there,


    My question is simple. Is there anyone out there running the VI on one machine? Is it possible to run most articulations (Including sampled legato and repetitions) for all the instruments of a standard orchestra? Could anyone tell me if this is viable; I read somewhere that the VI has its own methods of conserving RAM usage, and therefore it would be possible to load more articulations than with other samplers.

    All of my experience says no way to this. Everyone I know of is using multiple machines to achieve this. While VI does have its ram usage compression "thing" happening, I still require 4 machines to run the library the way I need it.

    Yes, I do. But it's fairly time-consuming...

    Essentially, I have to continuously load/unload VI instances (Cakewalk makes this fairly easy, fortunately). Additionally, I repeatedly use the RAM Optimze function to dump unused samples after I finish recording a part. So far it's worked ok for me, but I haven't worked on any really huge orchestral pieces yet.

    Welcome Revolt,

    Just a few days ago, one of our Forum Members posted an impressive example of virtual orchestral music, realised on a single computer:

    In this thread, he also gives detailed information how he handles this setup.

    At the same time? No - absolutely impossible.

    What you can do is bounce sections, or use the mem optimizer where you complete a part (say an instrument) and then throw away all unused samples.
