EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Both Bosendorfer sample discs (Bardstown and PMI Grandioso) are like 
2GB in size!  Will the EXS24 try and load the whole thing into ram?  
My machine has 1GB but I don't want to choke it to death. 

Thanks,
Mark

If you switch on the EXS24's Virtual Memory (AKA sample streaming, direct from
disk) it will buffer each sample (load the front end of  into RAM) and stream
the rest up from the hard disk as needed - pretty much what it does with audio
tracks. 

The RAM footprint of a big instrument will depend on the settings you choose in
the VM control panel -- you access this from the EXS24 options menu.

Only if you don't have disk streaming turned on. Download VSM if it's 
not on your system already, and look at the Options at the upper 
right of an EXS.
