So Far.....

BloXpander - Testing Stability and I'm Totally BLOWN AWAY!

First, I downloaded the Demo. checked it out a bit. (I use multiple instances of Kontakt 5 in my live setup).

Demo kept freezing. not good. Then Philippe suggested I disable the Multicore Processor Support button/ or experiment with disabling Kontakt's same through the Library panel.

I did. Seemed good...played around a bit, purchased the product.

MAN, this is a beast. I mean granted, I have a lot of horsepower under the hood (see my signature for some details of my system) but this program is able to unleash ALL of it. I have never been able to load all of this (below) and TRY to crash it and it WON'T.
And no, I'm not on the payroll, I know very little about this company. I actually stumbled upon.

I loaded all of this and everything is on and playing:

• - 6 instances of Kontakt 5 (Big Libraries 16 channels each--all samples loaded utilizing only three or four channels each).
• - 2 Omnisphere (8 ch each - all loaded, but using only 2 to 3 ch each).
• - 1 Saurus (Tone 2).
• - 2 SynthMaster 2.

I still have headroom. Amazing.

I have yet to scratch the surface as far as implementation (I wish it had an easier graphical keyboard split setup interface, for example--because i have to do a LOT of that).
But this program is feature packed and so far STABLE with all that I am throwing at it at once.

My Kontakt libraries include:
Session Strings
NeoSoul Keys
Various Piano libraries
MOJO Horns
Session Horns
Orange Tree Samples (various guitars, Mind Control,and Passion Flute)
etc, ect.....

Cheers.
