Purge on play
-
I've never used this feature in Kontakt but it seems to be popular for people who use large templates. Any possibility that we will see something like this in HISE? or is it already there?
-
Do you mean the way kontakt can be purged and then only loads in the samples of the notes you play?
-
@Stroggan Yes
-
@d-healey Okay, I use that all the time

Just out of curiousity: what advantage does that offer vs. freezing the track in your DAW? And how does it detect which notes are played? Do you have to play your entire track once so it can "learn" which samples to keep? If there are RR variations, will it keep all in memory?
To be honest, I never bothered about that feature in KONTAKT. If resources get low, you start freezing.

@Christoph-Hart Yea it has to learn which samples to keep which can often cause dropouts the first time you play. The only advantage I can think of would be that you don't have to unfreeze to make edits. So it allows you to work with live tracks a bit longer before running out of memory and start freezing tracks.
It is pretty much just a convenience thing until you run into CPU bottlenecks and are forced to freeze tracks anyway.
