How is MainStage 2's memory management/resource hunger?

[Viv Savage]

Is MainStage still not smart in loading channelstrips? Or doesn't it load the same piano patch 10 times when you it in 10 different patches?

 

I'd think it would be simple to implement:

 

 for every channelstrip
   if not loaded do
     load
   else
     do nothing
   end if

MainStage allows to switch between patches within a few ms or so, that doesn't work with channel strips that might take minutes to load.

 

But you might want to look into Channel Strip Aliases, if you run load on memory, which solves your problem without making patch switching slow.

It sounds like it is the one... Now only the wait until it becomes available in these parts.
