  • Vienna Ensemble - WinXP 64Bit - 8 GB Ram - more than 100,000 samples loaded

    It was an exciting afternoon for me in office today.

    Making my first capacity test with a 64 Bit winXP computer with 8 GB Ram,  

    I loaded 112825 samples into one instance of Vienna Ensemble using 7 GB Ram.

    Can't await my new computer with 16 GB Ram.

    I expect to load 240,000 samples on this computer.

    Not fair. Do you know how many instances of Chainer filled to the brim with VI I had to use to get my 7.5GB? Where is the Vienna Ensemble. I want it. NOW.........!


  • I guess this means there's no turning back now![:D] 


  • Good God!

    Who would have thought this possible - even 3 years ago.


  • So ... Where is it .. it's the 25th dammit .. I WANT!!!!

  • Coming soon (in a few hours).

  • Herb,can you please tell us which motherboard and CPU are you having in mind for a 16Gb ram?

    thanks


  • This are the specs for my upcoming PC: 

    Supermicro Server-Rack

    Motherboard: 6015A-NT
    Intel Xeon doubel processor 5160 - 3GHZ
    ECC Ram BC2 5300 677 MHZ CL5

  • I would be satisfied with your current setup!  What are the specs of that machine, and how much cpu (%) did you use to work with 7+ gigs of ram loaded.  Looking forward to Ensemble


  • Herb, This...is great news, how soon can we expect the MAc version? thanx, SvK

  • I know it's not out yet, but have the VSL Team also been working with OSX Leopard (out tomorrow!) and will this let us use 8gb or more on our MACs? Also will VE work with Logic 8 out the box? TIA Tim

  • Read the announcement in the Preview infos thread. Most of your questions are answered there.

    DG


  • Doh - yes I should have checked there first. Thanks DG


    I wonder Herb how long does it take to actually load a tempalte with that many samples in? Minutes/Hours?

  • I think that with a fastish PC (this thread is about PCs after all) it takes around 7 minutes, if I remember correctly. Of course, you have to discount the first load, as time is lost scanning the dongle for licences.

  • DG, Herb.... naturally the sends are pre-fader ? SvK

    it's an appr. 1 year old ASUS P5W Pentium D 3,4 (not core 2 duo) FSB 800 4 x 2 GB non ECC RAM DDR2 533 w/ a bunch of raptors ...

    depending on loaded matices you can expect 1-3% CPU per instance (instrument)

     

    a very good and pricy solution turned up to be also the intel S3000 and S5000 boards (-8 GB nonECC, -16 GB ECC) because of their mixed PCI/PCIe architecture

    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.
  • Are the sends Pre-Fader? thanx SvK

  • No.
