Hi Darren.
Well, that's interesting to know about Omnisphere.
Some plugs can share resources between instances. In terms of memory, if you
load a bank of samples in one instance, a second instance can use that already
set of loaded samples, instead of having to load its own separate copy. If they
can't share resources, though, you can quickly waste a lot of memory. CPU
considerations are always in play, also, but don't ever seem to be as large of
a concern as the shared memory situation.

Hi Bryan.
I raised this issue with Spectrasonics and receive a response both from oen of
their tech guys and Eric Percing who's the main man at Spectrasonics.
They both say that using a single instance over 8 tracks will save you
significant CPU resources over 8 separate isntances of the plugin.
Now, to me this makes sense.
To simplify this, and I am simplifying it about as much as you can.
Let's say that you have ten letter to write in a word processor like MS Word.
I'd imagine that you'd save a lot of computer resources having the ten
documents open in one instance of Word, than trying to have word opened 10
times with just the one document
yeah I know, way too simple, but the principle is pretty similar.
Cheers
Darren

I guess what I was getting at is that 2 Omnisphere instances running 8
instruments each is not very computationally different than just having 16
single instrument Omnispheres.
Always good to have the capability, especially if it doesn't take a massive
amount of effort to get working. I was just wondering if using multiple
instrument in a single instance actually mattered with Omnisphere.

Well there's no way I could run 24 instances of omnisphere on the computer I
have. 5 or 6 is about the most. With dimension or rapture or stineberg I
never have trouble with anything bogging down or running out of memory. I
think the omnisphere sounds are a bunch more megs. I'm still running xp pro.
I haven't gone to windows 7 yet.
I guess with most projects I work on, I'm probably not going to use that
much omnisphere. 2 or three instruments at the most. This is just having
some fun. Although I can see myself doing some instrumental things where
this could come in handy. Maybe I need to upgrade my computer but till I do,
I think this is a pretty good thing for me.

Why do you worry about being able to use the synth in multichannel mode?
Multichannel synths were kind of a concern back when we were all trying to
do the softsynth thing on Pentium 4 based DAWs, but most single processor I7
systems, which I think that you are using, have anywhere from 7 to 10 times
as much power as those old rigs. The little CPU power that it might or might
not save you is probably not worth the complexity of getting the synths
setup in multichannel mode, assigning multiple audio outputs to multiple
tracks, etc. Saves a bunch of time to just run one instance to one
instrument.

I had to go get the update, and boy am I glad I did. What a job you've done
here my friend. I love the catigory page up and down, I didn't know those
exttra catigories were available, and I never knew about the multi channel
capability of the omnisphere. Now with one instance of the synth, I can have
8 instruments. Thank you Daren.
Very much. I'm having a lot of fun thanks to your efforts. I haven't asigned
each channel track to an audio out put yet, but I think I can tell it to
insert multiple tracks when I first insert the synth, then hopefully
asigning each one of those tracks to a corresponding midi channel. If that
doesn't work, I'll be asking you how but right now the volume controls on
each midi track are sufficient for what I am doing. One more time I have to
say what fun, I love it each time we get a little more accessibility with
something that was already working fairly well. Maybe there are a number of
things we can't do yet with this synth, but I'm excited about what we can
do now.!
