More Capacity For Sound Libraries..? Please!

[icecoldrocker]

OK after we updated the OS for the Nautilus 8 ) I can see multiple User Banks which well is rather obvious to see. However, why have these banks there but not have the capacity... SO perhaps KORG has some treats up the sleeve that the agents for KORG will make available in the near future...
I already have three sound libraries but I am not too thrilled in what I am used to doing with having to with sacrifice sound libraries for other sounds or finding out that sound locations are not from the sound library. Now with the vast available sounds already in the Nautilus right out the box I do not find myself scrambling to find another sound that I had to remove from Bank t which I had the Best of Triton there now it is Dynasaur 2. There is another SL but I cannot load it unless I remove another.

I would like to have even more of a massive total for sounds not uninstalling just to install

and goodness almighty please release a VST version of the Trinity.

Are you saying that you have no open banks? You likely need to install the libraries in alternate banks rather than the default, else you may need to use a utility like PCG Tools to move and consolidate some of your Programs and Combi’s.

i’d like to have more capacity to load at least three or more sound libraries N Ex Library I have two loaded now so that leaves me with no more room unless i uninstall another Nautilus EXs i want a large array of sounds

There are three elements of ‘capacity’ - memory (RAM), disk space, and Program/Combi bank slots. So far it is unclear to me which of these you wish to address. There are means to address all of them in one manner or another, but we need to be clear on which issue you’re encountering.

i am referring to the RAM for there sure isn’t enough for at least three sound libraries

EXs

Well, as it is a 32 bit OS that is a challenge with a finite limit. There’s a couple of tricks which can help get around the physical limitation.

Have you stripped out extraneous entries in your default KSC file? That is likely a good place to start… if you don’t use many(any) drums, for instance, they can be removed freeing up significant RAM. There’s a good page discussing this - I’ll dig up a link if you need it.

You may also want/need to have a few KSC files defined which can be loaded and unloaded at will, depending on what your objectives are. It’s not ideal as having unlimited libraries pre-loaded, but it isn’t all that cumbersome

Perhaps you are not using Virtual Streaming, which only uses approximately 10% of the sample library size in RAM (depending on the library complexity). In other words, 2 gigs of RAM should yield 20 gigs, or more, of streaming samples. Your 3rd gig of RAM is for the OS, Base ROM, and software synths, etc. I'm on the Kronos, but it should be very similar.

On your GLOBAL - KSC-Autoload page, you should set your LOAD SETTINGS to VIRTUAL, like they are on the right side of the screen. Notice the difference between RAM SIZE streaming, and the DISK SIZE of the library.




You should be able to stream your 3 libraries, plus more. Currently, I have 37 EXs and sample libraries, plus ROM samples, that stream simultaneously. If I go to a program's OSC/PITCH page, these are the libraries I have loaded:
