Default Kontakt 5 Memory Option Question

On the Options page, at the bottom you have "Instrument Preload Buffer Size"

I see that the default is 60kb, but there's also a box that says you can override it.

So I was wondering when working with Large sample libs, what's a good setting (if it matters at all)

Thanks!

I've currently got mine set at 60kb. I've actually run at 30 and got by with it until I ran into another problem and reset it to 60. The problem had nothing to do with it but I've just left it at 60kb to be on the safe side since I haven't had any RAM problems.

The thing is, you want the smallest number you can get by with because this is what goes into RAM when you run in DFD mode. Setting it higher or lower won't hurt anything. I think the biggest problem would be if you set it too low and then had problems down the road and forgot you'd set it that low.
