Hi. I'm experiencing a strange thing with Embertone Walker 1955 VST when loaded to Kontakt Player. Usually, for other plugins, maxing preload buffer makes the VST to load into RAM causing a bit reduced CPU stress and minimizing hard drive usage which in general leads to better performance when playing live with those VSTs.
However it is completelty different story with EW1955. When I set preload buffer to 240kB, the piano is completely unplayable - I get cracks and pops every few notes. I don't think it's a RAM issue, since I have 16GB installed and usually 1 plugin loaded at the time. When I lower it to 6kB, everything works fine, no cracks and pops anymore. I'm using SSD so it's not a problem for quick sample load times, but shouldn't RAM access be faster? And why I experience that only with this particular VST? Do you have any idea?
