Plugin Wrapper Multi Instrument Question.

[gesslr]

Hi.

I created a multi instrument that consists of an instance of Kontakt (loaded with Xosphere) and Serum. I put this in a wrapper and saved it for use across projects. Works like a charm.

My question is this: Whenever I start a new project/edit in Tracktion now, I notice that Xosphere always loads even if I don't have any tracks in the edit yet. Is Tracktion loading Xosphere so it can be ready to go instantly if I drag in to the edit? I don't notice any CPU usage when it is not in the edit, but is there a memory hit? I ask because the impact would be cumulative if I set up a number of these, yes? (CPU hit also after a while?)

Hope that makes sense. Any insight appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a rack in an Edit (i.e. it appears under the "Plugin Racks" menu of the new plugins dragger), even if it doesn't have any instances on a track then yes it will be loaded into memory. It will not use CPU if it's not actually being processed though (except for any idle CPU the plugin may have).

Thank you.
