I do 12, 6 is working as well in many casesHere is a question for Kontakt users who have the samples stored on either Sata SSD (possible Raid 0?) or NVMe SSD: what is the instrument buffer size that you are successfully using? Anybody doing 12 KB - or even 6 KB with no dropouts?
Sata SSD or NVMe?I do 12, 6 is working as well in many cases
I'm also interested in learning about this.Wow. That is low . Does that help for you by saving RAM , or are there other advantages etc to having a low buffer size- As it effects ALL kontakt libraries I believe.
Does it help in any way with running the library at a Low Buffer size for instance?
What do you mean it's "faster"? Are you saying you can get more polyphony? Because it's SLOWER by a LOT to load more buffers into more RAM. I've not noticed any difference in polyphony. 100% of notes you play on a disc streaming instrument will stream from the storage, no matter what buffer size in kilobytes is specified. Unless you turn the disk streaming OFF, that is...Even with NVMe - if you have enough RAM - I would suggest using larger buffers. RAM is still faster than loading from SSD.

OP: Mine (v6) is set on 6k. The samples are on a combo of SATA SSD and nVME.
I'm not doing "composition" with 900 disabled instruments in a template, so...YMMV.
