Hello, quick noob question on VEP7 RAM usage with Kontakt 6.
If I load 8 instances of the same instrument in one Kontakt instance in a VEP7 server project, the RAM usage in Kontakt only shows the RAM usage of one instrument, as expected just like when I use in stand-alone. However, when I look in my Task Manager in Windows 10, I see that VEP7 is allocating RAM for all 8 instances of the instrument.
For example, I load a string instrument from Red Room Audio Symphonic Sketchpad. Kontakt shows ~300MB of RAM usage. I then load the same instrument 7 more times for a total of 8 open instrument instances. The Kontakt RAM usage still only shows ~300MB, but the Task Manager in Windows 10 shows VEP7 at ~2.5GB.
Is this the correct behavior for VEP7? Just curious if VEP7 is dynamically or statically allocating RAM. Sounds like the latter if this is the correct behavior.
Thanks!!
