Hi Chad,
Thanks for the quality samples Chad.
To assist wider understanding wrt some of the posts above regarding size can you/anyone confirm/clarify my rudimental understanding ...
The samples are 96K x 24bit x 1channel = 2304kbps BitRate
All the Clavinet samples are ~1.5GB (on disk)
All the PianetT samples are ~650MB (on disk)
When calling an sfz are it's memory requirements determined by what it has definitions for /calls to (as opposed to necessarily loading all instrument samples - but might typically be one full keyboard / mic arrangement, velocity layers and releases)?
So the resource requirements for disk and memory are a direct result of the quality of the samples and the component requirement of the sfz definition. (?)
In the case of 'Gothic Plunkton' (2025MB), it uses:
Mellotron Strings Tape - 25MB
Vint Saw Bitred - 8KB
Clavinet Full No Muted - 1.56GB
GoldTops GTN Powerchords - 57.2MB
That still doesn't add up to 2GB - more like 1.6GB ???
Regardless - still quite a memory draw and of course that'd likely be moreso if the other samples were 96/24.
I'm still running an 8GB machine :) (which has coped well for my requirements thus far).
I noticed also, seemingly moreso for the lower notes, the duration is longer (/size bigger). Is that due to lower notes having a longer sustain?
Cheers,
Shell.
