Absurd loading times

[pendragon]

Hi folk,

East West\'s Bosendorfer takes lightyears to load, just as Voices of the apocalypse, someone knows why?

Load times are related to the number of samples that must be preloaded. The Bosendorfer has a huge number of samples with its four dynamic layers, etc.

However, there is also the possibility of a disk controller compatibility issue with Giga. One of my MOBOs has a Promise ATA100 controller that slowed load times to a crawl - loading a sample set that should have taken 1 minute was taking about about 20 minutes. I could find no resolution so I moved the disks to the regular IDE channels and then everything was fine!

On my system (Win2k 2x1GHz, 1.25GB), Gigapiano (663MB) loads in 4 sec. The Bos (910MB) loads in 12 Sec.

What do you mean by absurd?

Further note: Lightyear is a measure of distance, not time.
