I think 64 bit is hyped. I have Windows 7 64-bit and most programs I use are still 32-bit. As long as 64 bit is not the absolute standard, why bother? There are probably hardly any programs out there that are only available in a 64-bit version as those companies know they would lose customers and market share.
Miroslav Philharmonik runs on Pentium 4 and Athlon chips and 1 GB RAM, so I doubt it is a 64-bit software.
Support for 64 bit VSTI plug-ins?

I think it is worthwhile, myself. I imagine it's fairly easy to hit the 4GB memory addressing limit of 32-bit with a few large sample libraries in a project.fluffy_little_something wrote:I think 64 bit is hyped.

Definitely a backburner issue vs multi-core processing though, in my mind.

Sorry, caused a bit hassle here - the plugin is actually 32 bit, it's called Miroslav Philharmonik and now works fine with Mulab if anyone wants to use it (great quality orchestral samples for the price) Somebody mentioned (not on this forum) that it was 64 bit so I assumed that was why it wasn't working - many thanks for all the advice - got me there in the end.

Since Mulab does not offer multi-core support, does that mean that all of my Mulab instance runs in a single core of my six-core processor?

At the moment, yeah. The developer, Jo, is working on it though and has said it's the priority. Might be targetting a release within the M4 lifecycle, I dunno.fluffy_little_something wrote:Since Mulab does not offer multi-core support, does that mean that all of my Mulab instance runs in a single core of my six-core processor?

Oh, that's why I sometimes hit the red zone in the CPU usage meter despite using only 6 tracks 
I suppose those fat pad sounds I like don't really help matters 
If I use external synth plug-ins, would they run in different cores and thus reduce the load on that one Mulab core?

MuLab-wise multi-core support indeed is the top thing to do.
There might come some mini MuLab updates, also as a consequence of the MUX Vst development, but as soon as the MUX Vst has been released, it's all full focus on multi-core support!
