CHAPTER 3: OPTIMIZING YOUR SYSTEM FOR GVI
GVI is a high-performance instrument. Fortunately, it is also very efficient. However, in
order to optimize GVI’s performance on your system, please observe the following rec-
ommendations:
● Although GVI streams samples directly from disk, it also preloads a
small portion of the loaded samples into RAM for a lower latency attack.
The more RAM you have installed in your computer, the more instruments
you will be able to load into GVI.
● Your installation of Windows XP (Home or Professional) must be
updated to Service Pack 2. GVI will not work with SP1. To find out what
your computer is running, right-click on My Computer, select Properties,
and check under System (General Tab). You can update your computer to
SP2 for free by going to www.windowsupdate.com.
● The DAW program hosting GVI may require significant computer
resources. Your computer must meet the recommended system
requirements of your host app before you start using GVI as a plug-in.
● GVI has 16 MIDI channels, and while opening up multiple instances of
GVI is possible, operation is more efficient if you load the instruments
you need into a single GVI instance. Ideally, a second instance of GVI
should be loaded only when all 16 channels of the first instance are being
used.
