EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

While we are on this subject, I just did a test on memory load with the two
different versions of Old Lady -16 and 24 bit. I noticed that the memory
load in WinXP is identical with these two versions. I was a little
surprised but then I thought this was likely due to the fact that I have 32
bit sample loading checked in the prefs. 

I tried turning that back to "Original" - which i expected would load the
front end of each file in 24 bit format for the 24 bit version and 16 bit
format for the 16 bit version of Old Lady. Result - same memory hit for
each version with or without "32 Bit Float" format checked. 

This suggests either that:

A) the "32 Bit Float"/"Original" switch has no effect when Virtual Memory
(sample streaming) is working and/or 
B) that the buffering of each file is a fixed number of bytes - whatever
the format - so if the number of files in the instrument is the same,  the
memory load of buffering them will be identical.
