    Frits,

    I still have problems with Halion when a lot of samples are used (200-300 mb).
    I don’t know if it is because of the amount of samples (quantity) or the amount of ram. My cpu is instanty spiking and takes some time to get in idle state again.
    I have the impression that podium is dumping the samples and read them from from disk instead of holding them in memory. Halion is set to preload 2 seconds in ram.
    If I check the task manager it seems that the samples aren’t loaded after some time because podium is only using a a few megabites of memory but the pagefile is “full”.
    It’s normal that when monitoring is enabled Podium starts loading the samples but it seems to do that at random intervals (reloading).

    I’m fighting this for some time but it won’t work in a usable way. If I use this config in cubase I have a 10-20 % cpu load 😥

    First check:

    Make sure that there are only ONE library preset assigned to any of the tracks with mappings to the Halion global instance. If there are several library presets assigned, they will ‘fight’ to get dumped into Halion whenever something is playing on the tracks with the presets.

    yes,
    I have 14 channels from Halion. On two tracks mapped to a halion channel I had a bank preset.

    I’ll check out if it changes anything when keeping just one. probally it will.

    Perhaps podium could give a info message if you try to assingn a bank preset to a plugin set as global if there is one already present.

    Thanks

    I was thinking the same thing. Will try to fix this for the next release.

    Just a short update: Version 1.09 has been released which adds extended error check on preset assignments.
