Settings and performance monitoring

The Settings and Performance Monitoring sections within the Settings view displays important information about software and system performance.

Settings (for advanced users)

  • Max Engine RAM Allocation. Use this menu to increase the amount of RAM that the standalone player or plug-in can utilize. Increasing Max Engine RAM Allocation can help with overall performance.
  • Inst. Disk Pre-Caching. Increase the value in this menu to load more of the beginning of played notes into RAM. This gives your hard drive more time to stream the rest of the note. Increasing the Inst. Disk Pre-Caching, although resulting in slower initial load times, will result in fewer dropouts.

Performance monitoring

  • RAM DIRECT • RAM LOOP • RAM STRM • RAM STRMX • RAM TOTAL. These values indicate the overall RAM usage of the ARIA Engine.
  • Disk • Disk Loss. Displays information about the overall disk efficiency of the ARIA Engine.
  • Note Ons • Used Layers • Used Filters • Used EGs • Used LFOs. These values indicate the number of samples currently sounding, corresponding to the MIDI events occurring in real-time. Much of this information is specific to the programming of each individual instrument patch, represented here as a sum total for all patches and notes currently being played.
