SD 3.0 Library on separate Disk question

[Thorsten Schau]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering what happens when i load a certain kit or midi from SD 3.0.

Does it then load all of that into RAM?

The reason i’m asking is, that i would like to run my OS and all Apps on a internal NVME m.2 ssd. But that is only 1TB,

and i need to move everything possible out from there.

So i guess the question is: if i have the SD 3.0 library files on a separate harddrive, obviously when i load those files SD3 will access that harddrive,

but after all the kit and stuff is loaded, will SD3 still access the harddrive and location where it’s stored or will it be loaded into Memory?
thanks 🙂

BEST ANSWER

SD3 loads kits to memory. There is no disk streaming so should be fine.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors
