RE: [exs] Can EXS stream from hardrive?

2002-10-10 by Matt

Thanks for the info. 

Is it a feature that's easy to deactivate if desired ?

Switching on sample streaming involves a noticeable increase in CPU load --
especially if you normally use 32 bit mode for storing the samples in RAM.
There is a CPU load in converting files to 32 bit float and that conversion
is happening on every voice scrolling from the hard-drive.  Of course it is
also a significant load on the the hard-drive and if the drive is the same
one you have your audio tracks on then you will be able to manage a lot
fewer tracks.

Separate drives and a fast CPU/memory system are what is needed to really
exploit this feature. It is great to have it as an option though especially
if you want to work with the big GigaSampler sets. It would be nice if you
could set the option for each tune.

Regards,
Murray
