In some situations, especially when you are working with lots of sample-based plug-ins, there might not be enough RAM to add an instance of The Grand. In this case, a dialog will warn you that there is not enough memory left.

The dialog offers the following options, which might allow you to load The Grand anyway:

Switch to ECO Mode

The Grand will be opened in ECO mode, see ECO Mode (general controls).

Disable Sustain Resonance Layer

The Grand will load without the sustain resonance samples.

Reduce RAM usage (Disk<>RAM)

Selecting this option will change the Disk vs. RAM usage setting on the Options page by one step towards Disk.

  • Start by activating one of the options and clicking OK.

    Note

    If the reduction of RAM usage is sufficient, you can now start playing The Grand. If the low memory situation still persists, the dialog opens again so that you can select another option.
