If you can live with the approximated audio the first time a layer is triggered, Load on demand can save a lot of RAM – even if you eventually play
all layers for an articulation, there are other articulations and kit-pieces which aren’t played as fre quently and so will not occupy much RAM.
Using Load on demand in the studio
In the studio, Load-on-demand may be more sensible to use after a drum track is programmed, to free up RAM for other tasks in your host.
Ensure that you play the song fully from beginning to end, in order to load all required velocities. This results in consistent playback until further
layers are played/programmed, or until the Humanize/Dynamics controls are used.
Using Load on demand during live performance
Load on demand allows very fast changing between kits during live performance. The differences between the initial amplitude-scaled and
eventually load ed velocity layers may not be such a concern because of noisy, distorted PA systems and less-than-ideal venue acoustics and
listening conditions.
