Hello, could you please add a running or loading mode to load an sf2 completely into memory? The goal is that program changes (and bank?) get rid of the load hiccups and the new sound is available in an instant.
It already is loaded completely into memory. It tries to lock it too, so it does not get swapped out. (If you get the message "Failed to pin sample data to RAM, swapping is possible" warning, you know it failed.)
Any hiccups you might get would be related to CPU bound activities happening at program/bank changes, but these should not cause underruns if priorities are set right; possibly delays to midi events coming after.
Is this Windows or Linux, btw? I don't know the Windows parts very well. // David
