Best Service Engine 2.0
Manual
The Read Model is a very important feature and allows you to switch between RAM (RF-
RAM) and hard disk (RF-HDD) as memory for all loaded sound samples.
The yellow tools RF-HDD technology enables you to load and play instruments completely
independent from their physical size - even if this size is bigger than your available RAM.
Only a small part of the beginning of each required audio file gets loaded into RAM and the
rest remains on the hard disk. The entire audio file only gets reloaded if required. This is a
very complex technology which allows an enormous performance and a so far unreached
loading rate. You can adjust the parameters of the Read Model in Engine‘s preferences
(-> see „Preferences“ chapter). To switch between the two read models please click on the
pull-down menu and select your preferred model.
Beside the options “read from HDD” and “read from RAM” you can also activate the
Elastique Time-Stretch & Pitch-Shfting option in this menu. All further details get explained
in the chapter “Elastique”.
For immediate access to your MIDI channel settings, each Layer contains its own MIDI
channel pull-down menu. If you use Engine as a standalone version, you will additionally
get the MIDI port pull-down menu with up to 32 virtual and/or physical ports.
