Fl 9.5

[prophetik music]

has anyone had a chance to take a look at the 9.5 beta? there's some crazy awesome stuff in there, like improved memory management and a bridging mode similar to jBridge that allows you to run stuff in its own process.

i'm particularly pumped about the bridging mode, although i likely won't get it until it's official just so i don't have to worry about corrupting my files in case of a system-wise issue.

I've only spent an hour or two with it, but I love it so far. Too many excellent changes to count.

+2 gb RAM, wheeeee!

I might get some use out of Trilian now.

seriously, trilian takes a LOT of ram =( it sounds amazing, though. haven't found anything that compares to its upright bass sound.

i just bought it thinking 'well, how can it be much worse than kontakt etc', but apparently it eats way more ram than comparable instruments in kontakt, like scarbee's stuff.

i felt reluctant so far to use up half of my ram just for bass duties (i hardly ever settle for just one bass sound), but the bridging thing should make it more bearable.

did they add a more elegant way to change time sigs, btw? did i miss a statement by gol saying he'll never do it? seems to me like a lot of users would like a rework.

I like it, but I've run into an issue with the bridge where 64-bit plugins, which had been working fine, now crash any project they're brought into.

I'm gonna just use good ol' 9.1 until they straight up release 10.0.

64 bit plugins did not run in FL9.1 at all. Maybe you just thought you were loading the 64 bit versions but in fact were using the 32 bit versions. If you're having problems, definitely file bug reports so reflex can improve the wrapper.

I've been using it since the beta got released, and I have no complaints. I like the improved memory management, but other than that, there aren't any huge changes for me.

The aesthetic changes are pretty nice though, especially the waveform views in the mixer.

It handles 64 bit plugins well and i was able to use a lot of Kontakt players with heavy sample libraries with lower CPU buffers rates with no crackle. Same deal when exporting, Less/no voices being killed.

However the damn thing is so unstable with 64 bit plugins, at least Kontakt. It's corrupted every project file I've loaded them in. Makes them unable too be opened. Gives a stack overflow error.

However if you stay away from 64 bit plugins. 9.5 works great.
