Long time to load Phrase libraries

Posted

A large library has been taking 30 seconds or so on a new fast W7 64bit computer with a SSD drive.  At one point a library didnt load and an SFP error (I think) about out of space of some sorts.  Only had it once and didn't write down the exact message.

Did you use the 'clean up for shipping' command?  it edits out some material.  I have noticed if I build a large library (ten  40kb midi files to start with.) - it will take quite a while to load.

Better to make them with 3 - 5 files..  Of course depends on complexity and length of files.  You can also just analyze part of a song too.

If you send me a copy of the library to support at cognitone dot com, I could have a look.

There should be no difference from 1.2, though. It may possibly have to do with sound assignments and network timeouts when talking to drones, or something.

20 megabytes is quite fat. No wonder it takes that long to load. You should thin a library out before saving it. For complex and long compositions like classical, it is also advisable to create one library per imported midi file and drag/drop their phrase pools together in a new library after you prepared them.
