Performance meters

The upper meter shows the processor load during playback of voices. The more voices you play, the higher the processor load will be. If the red overload indicator lights up, reduce the Max Voices setting on the Control page. Alternatively, you can switch off articulations on the Model page to reduce the processor load.

This meter shows the hard disk transfer load from streaming samples or loading models. If the red overload indicator lights up, the hard disk is not supplying data fast enough to the computer. In such a case, adjust the Disk vs. RAM slider on the Options page towards RAM. You may also decrease the Max Voices setting on the Control page. Alternatively, you can switch off sound parameters on the Model page to reduce the disk load.

This display indicates the number of samples currently played back, to help you to trace performance problems. For example, if you have to reduce the Max Voices setting on the Control page, you can verify your settings by monitoring the Voices display.

MEM is an abbreviation for Memory. This display indicates the overall amount of RAM currently used by the plug-in and the loaded model. The amount you see results from the streaming buffer and the preloaded samples. The MEM display will help you to trace performance problems. For example, if you need to free memory for other applications, you can do so by adjusting the Disk vs. RAM slider on the Options page towards Disk. You can verify your settings by monitoring the MEM display.
