28. MIDI/DLS: Is there a limit to the size of sound banks I can download? - Top

Currently, there is not. The DLS (Level 1) standard does not put a limit on the overall size of the sound bank. Since the Aureal wavetable engine uses system RAM for storing samples, you will be limited to the amount of memory you have in your system. Keep in mind that other applications will need system memory as well; it is probably a good rule of thumb to never load a sample bank that is larger than half of your total system RAM. - Updated: November 29, 1999
