[exs] ram amounts for virtual memory

2002-12-08 by Darcy Phillips

Does anyone know of any official info regarding the sample streaming feature
and how much or how little ram it likes to use, or can make use of, relative
to the amount of sample data being loaded?

I used EXS for the first time on a gig this weekend, and the sound I was
using was a 500 meg Rhodes sample. But on my Tibook with 256 meg of ram, I
figure the exs only had about 40 meg to work with, and, somewhat to my
amazement, it just sat there and quietly streamed the whole sound flawlessly
all night long! Sounded fantastic.

However, I think it's working close to full capacity, because every time I
change anything it takes a long time to redraw the icons on the desktop
behind. Still, it didn't crash, but I don't think it's totally stable
either.

Would I be right in assuming that adding another 512 meg to my system would
help?

Thanks all! Darcy
