So, my next question as we await the arrival of this new and wondrous workstation is will it be possible to download a .pdf on how to use this machine between now and delivery? I want to begin learning as much as possible about it in advance so I can hit the ground running with it.

Hey Dan,

One topic that would be interesting to see in the Kronos manual is a section that helps understand which sounds are loaded into RAM and which are streamed from the SSD, something similar to the section in the OASYS manual that talked about RAM use.

The whole purpose being users getting a better understanding of how much RAM is available for user-created sample-based sounds.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for the info Dan.

Is there any limitation of the VMT? (I guess the VMT is a sort of RAM memory used for cache/swap between OS and SSD... am I right, or the VMT is pure memory on the SSD dedicated as virtual RAM?)

I mean, the VMT isn't explained anywhere and I really wish to know which kind and how much EXs, which size of sample I can "pre-load" to be able to play them...

Would you mind to give us some light on that?

Thanks a million
Phil

VMT is exactly the same thing as DFD in Kontakt. Attack portions of each sample is loaded to RAM, and the rest is streamed from the SSD.

It has its limits. If you fill your RAM with attack portions of lots of samples, you'll have no room at all for your own custom samples.

Sure, but Kontakt does have option to have more or less attack portions in memory... What would be the Kronos ratio? 10%, 20% ?

Apparently we can't load all EXs in VMT (from what Sharp said)... so what's the limit?

Thank you Dan... ok, it's good enough to get an idea on the possibilities.

It also make sense to not load the EXs-2, when we can load EXs-6 or 7 which are just awesome!!
