As the title suggests, I am really frustrated over the outrageous load times for CS2 and CB2. I really really like the sound of the libraries, but waiting 10 minutes for a session to load kind of kills my mood to use them, and makes me more apt to use another library, like EWQLSO--I like the sound of EWQSL SO less, but at least it loads quickly and is not hampered by mountains of unneeded scripts.
I started a thread about this a few months back, but it never really reached a resolution:

Now to be clear, my problem here is NOT in the time it takes to actually load the samples into memory--I know these are big banks, and Kontakt actually handles that pretty well.
The issue is that, when you begin loading any TVEC patch, it freezes for a number of minutes BEFORE it even begins loading samples, doing what I have to assume is the 18,000 lines of code in the "on init" method of the "TVEC Basic Settings" script. It literally just freezes a DAW in its tracks, and it unresponsive for quite a number of minutes.
I re-saved all of my patches as individual divisions to cut down the sample sizes, as well as getting rid of the more esoteric articulations that I don't need in EVERY instance. But it didn't help. The problem is in the scripts.
I do have a fair amount of experience with C-languages, but I don't know much at all about Kontakt scripting. Still, I have been trying to gut as much of the unnecessary scripts as possible to try to improve load times, but not very successfully yet, as the main script is 18,000 lines of code.
Kirk, is there any chance of ever releasing a light version of this? I mean no offense by this, but you have really great-sounding libraries hampered by an insane amount of rather pointless junk scripting. I mean, VibratoLive, EQLive, PatternMaker, hundreds of lines of code related to trills, etc. Isn't there a way we can just have the patches with basic playability without all the extra hocus pocus? I know some of the scripting is part of what makes the library sound so nice and is useful in some instances, but there is a lot of stuff in here that should be optional.
I think, sound-wise, your libraries could compete with the "big names," but holy crap, they have you beat 10-fold on loading times. Can we please discuss options and possibilities for fixing this?
