Memory saving tips

I'm new to this forum and I apologise if this has been asked before.
I'm currently writing a program which builds indices for a rather large data-base.
this process uses hefty amounts of memory, and this leads problems because
although I dont get a OutOfMemory Error, the contant running of the garbage collector
slows the program to a halt. if any of you have any quick tips for memory conservation that would be really helpfull (I have already weede out most of the unnecessary new calls).
thanks in advance

although I dont get a OutOfMemory Error, the contant
running of the garbage collector
slows the program to a halt. if any of you have any
quick tips for memory conservation that would be
really helpfull (I have already weede out most of the
unnecessary new calls).You could use the Factory Pattern. Instead of letting go of an object you give it back to the class. When you ask the class for a new object it first checks if there's one in store before instantiating a new one. This will take care of a high object turnover rate.

OutOfMemory-help on memory saving tips

Hello,
I am fairly new with Java.
My software ran out of memory when I tried to process much more input than it had ever done before.
I realized that one of the problems was that it woudl have been a good idea to specify the size of the big ArrayLists I use to prevent them from allocating more memory than necessary. BTW, I already use the -Xms -Xmx options when running java.
Unfortunately, I can't see any other way of saving memory. I paste below the relevant sections of code where I think there are improvements to be made and my comments/questions. I would be really grateful if you could help me in this.
Piece of code number 1:
HashMap srcToNewCand = new HashMap(35000);
//I would need only 25000 key-value pairs, but I do not want the HashMap to start reloading for space when it is almost full. So, I declared it to be initially of 35000 key-value pairs. Was that a bad idea ?
debug("Loading dictionary-based candidates...");
if (extendListCandidates) {
RerankInstance [] newCandExamples = new RerankInstance[examples.length+10000];
newCandExamples = TestListPreparation_G.readExamples(new File (newCandPath));
System.out.println ("...Check this out: how many examples..." + newCandExamples.length);
for (int j = 0; j < newCandExamples.length; j++) {
String src = newCandExamples[j].getSourcePhrase().getPhrase();
for (Iterator it = newCandExamples[j].getCandidates(); it.hasNext();) {
CandidatePhrase c = (CandidatePhrase)it.next();
// System.out.println("THERE " + c.getPhrase());
srcToNewCand.put(src, newCandExamples[j]);
=======================================
Piece of code number 2:
public static RerankInstance [] readExamples(File in)
throws IOException
int initialSize = 25500; //There will actually be 25000 objects in the ArrayList ret
ArrayList ret = new ArrayList(initialSize);
BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream ...
String line, spanish=null, gold = null;
ArrayList candidates = new ArrayList(); //There can be at most 205 elements, and in
//cases less than 205. So, I am not sure that is is wise to
//establish from the beginning the initial size of ArrayList candidates to 205.

ArrayList LM_TM_likelihoods = new ArrayList();
Double lm = null;

if (line.equals("</REC>"))
if (spanish != null && candidates.size() > 0)
System.out.println("Spanish=" + spanish);
if (++cnt % 10 == 0)
System.out.print(cnt + " ");
String [] cands = (String [])
candidates.toArray(new String[0]);
RerankInstance foo = new RerankInstance(spanish, cands);
//How important would it be for memory saving not to create LM_likes below ?
if (LM_likelihoods.size() > 0 ){
Double [] LM_likes = (Double[])LM_likelihoods.toArray(new Double[0]);
foo.setLikelihoods_single(LM_likes);
if (TM_likelihoods.size() > 0 ){
Double [] TM_likes = (Double[])TM_likelihoods.toArray(new Double[0]);
foo.setLikelihoods_single(TM_likes);
if (LM_TM_likelihoods.size() > 0 ) {
Double [] LM_TM_likes = (Double[])LM_TM_likelihoods.toArray(new Double[0]);
foo.setLikelihoods_single(LM_TM_likes);
foo.read_setLikelihoods(foo,LM_likelihoods,TM_likelihoods, LM_TM_likelihoods);
ret.add(foo);
foo.setGold(gold);
spanish = null;
gold = null;
candidates.clear();
LM_likelihoods.clear();
TM_likelihoods.clear();
LM_TM_likelihoods.clear();
r.close();
System.out.println("RET LENGTH " + ret.size());
System.gc();
return (RerankInstance [])ret.toArray(new RerankInstance[0]);

I guess, this is the problem, but I need to process the files and put every chunk into an object RerankInstance. And each RerankInstance into the array for further processing ...
Is it the array size or reading the file ? Or both ? This is the first time I deal with these huge files.
What are the techniques for dealing with them ?
The file is a set of sequences like this one between <REC> and </REC> and I load each of them into RerankInstance objects, which I report below, just in case :

Cost saving tips in using Blackberries

Does anyone have any tips they would be willing to share regarding cost saving tips? I'm looking for anything that may save our employees money with their voice and data plans. One example I know of is: turn off your phone when traveling overseas to avoid roaming charges.

There are also applications available which allow you to keep track of data usage, and can let you know when your data is getting close to the monthly limit. One application I've seen is MiniMoni. It isn't perfect, but supposedly does a decent job.
If you want to thank someone for their comment, do so by clicking the Thumbs Up icon.

Free Memory - Saving work quickly!

Hi!
I'm currently using the ram hungry quantum leap symphonic orchestra with 2.5Gb of ram. I usually work upto my limit in reguards to ram and this poses the problem of frequently saving my work.
e.g. If I've only made a few midi changes within a song and I need to save the changes; it takes about 3-5mins (depending on the instruments) to load all the instruments up again due to the 'free memory' proccess reconfiguring the ram.
I understand that it's neccessary to free up memory when working with high powered sampled intruments, however, it does seem pointless to wait such a long time if you just want to save a few midi changes.
I've tried to changing the setting for 'empty trash after saving song' (preferences/global/song handling/) but to no avail.
Any ideas?

Here are a bunch of tips for getting the most out of your EXS24
FOR SMALLER CPU (G4) WITH MORE RAMS (2-4GB) try this:
Open EXS24, go to options>virtual memory
for Disk Drive Speed select "Slow"
for Hard Disk Rec. Activity select "Extensive"
Then Apply
Doing this will release pressure from the hard disk and the CPU when you are loading samples.
It also release pressure from the HD/CPU when you are recording EXS24 or playing back sounds through EXS24.
FOR BIGGER CPU (G5) WITH LESS RAMS (1-2GB)
Open EXS24, go to options>virtual memory
for Disk Drive Speed select "Fast"
for Hard Disk Rec. Activity select "Less"
Then Apply
Doing this will release pressure from the RAMS when you are loading samples.
It also release pressure from the RAMS when you are recording EXS24 or playing back sounds through EXS24.

HELP*****deleting all memory saved on nokia e72***...

hi can someone please help me concerning my nokia e72, i have bought a 16gb memory card currently waiting on it but in the mean time the 4gb which came with the phone isn't allowing me to put any music on go on the internet, play the radio....do anything really. what is the problem? i have no idea what to do.....also how do i put music on the phone? when i plug it into the computer, files open but which 1 do i put music in too is it the download file?? i am totally lost with this phone actually thinking of taking it back its just very complicated...i need step by step info on how to delete my memory and how to put music on.
one other thing the phone is quite slow it freezes alot i have to take the battery out inorder to get it working again why is this? due to no memory?? does this phone save all the web pages i use?? what is using up the memory?? please help!!!
thansk.

Do you want to delete all the info on the memory card or from your phone. Dialling *#7370# from the main screen wipes out the phone memory by doing this you will lose all your data stored on to your phone memory like contacts, notes, bookmarks any applications installed, nokia music licenses ( you can later retrieve this) etc. In order to format your mem card so it from your phone go to file manager and use 'format mem card' For storing music on the card create a folder named 'music' or 'mp3' and place all your songs there, open your music player and refresh music library, wait till all the songs are added.
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

NAS on a memory stick - tips and tricks

Hi!
I'm assembling home NAS (mostly for CIFS, probably CVS, probably some kind of multimedia streaming) with OS (and it is AL) placed on an USB flash drive. What I have already found (I mean tips and tricks):
- /var has dedicated partition,
- some fs dirs will be mount with tmpfs: /tmp, /var/lock, /val/run, and even am thinking about linking /var/log to RAID1 which will be used, or to tmpfs also,
- of course, noatime (do we need 'flush' or any other options?),
- dd is suitable for easy backing up and restoring of bootable USB flash drive (I have tried - it works! ).
I would be happy if everybody having experience in this specific area will share discovered tips and tricks. If it takes matter, HW is (already bought): Celeron E3200, 2GB DDR3, 1TB + 1TB WD HDD for RAID1, uATX motherboard with solid caps, Scyther cooler, and so on.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, cooling and silence are main priorities. I have found old server 4U case as a base for some DYIing I'm also apt (before any experience) to avoid turning spin off.
cybertorture wrote:4. specifications above will get 1 mbit with no worries, as for heat i strongly recommend u cpufrequtils
Probably it's a typo, I think you mean 1GBit. OK, will look at cpufrequtils.
cybertorture wrote:now its time for mine question, why the hell u use usb as system device Oo?
It's sufficient, silent, very cheap (in comparison with SSD), didn't eat SATA slot and is very handy for backing up and restoring.
Another question: HDDs has so called "Seek Mode 3" with less seeking noise (and less performance). Have not found a way to tune it.

Is all my iPod memory saved online?

Hi-
I need to reset my iPod to factory settings. NOTHING IS SAVED IN ITUNES. Is everything saves online on my Apple account? How do I get to it?
Thanks so much!

If you need to reset it to factory settings, go into iTunes, select the iPod, then scroll down and click restore.

TS1388 My battery on my macbook pro all of a sudden keeps using the battery power really quickly, so I am having to rechareg it constantly. Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it. I have used all the energy saving tips.

Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it. This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening. Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.

Hi BigThinker,
How old is your Mac? If it is an older one, then the battery may just be dying. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then clicking on About This Mac>More Info>System Report, then click on Power (about half way down the list). At the top of the resulting display, you should see the following type of info:
The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.

Setup for Controlling Articulations (or Patches) as an Interface

Hi,
Here is a new set-up I've created (though, I'm sure others have
done this or similar things before).
The objectives of this set-up are to provide a way to deal with
situations where I have limited processing power and limited
computer memory during the compositional process. This
set-up is not necessarily meant to be used to produce
professional, platinum recordings.
I am new to Logic Pro, so this set-up may have weaknesses and
flaws that I am not aware of; or, there may be a far better way
to achieve the ends than this.
The main concept I am using is that of an interface. An example
of an interface is a light switch on a wall; if you turn it on, the
light goes on, if you turn the switch down, the light goes off.
This is one type of light interface; another might be a chain
you pull; another might be a light dimmer switch.
In this set-up, a multi-instrument is used as an interface to Violins I.
I first began by setting up a new layer in the environment, and I called
it "Violins I Layer".
I then created a new multi-instrument, and labeled it "Violins I". It's icon
box is checked so that it shows up in the arrange menus.
All other objects to be created or used within this environment layer have
their icon checkbox unchecked.
To use Violins I in the arrange window, you simply select it. There is no
hint in the arrange window what the implementation of this Violins I section
is. It could be produced by an outboard sampler, or it could be produced
by Apple's JamPack orchestral Strings, or it could be produced by Garritan
Orchestral Strings (as a few examples). It could even be produced by
a flute patch, but this would simply be confusing to someone trying to
use the overall system.
Because there is no hint in the arrange window as to what actually
produces the Violins I sound, this is one reason I call it an interface.
You know that "Violins I" represents the first violin section, but you
do not know the details of the implementation.
In this example, there will be three implementations of the Violins I
section set up within the Violins I Layer within the Environment. The
three implementations use the following facilities: Garritan Orchestral
Strings (light patches, i.e., less memory patches), Apple's JamPack
Orchestra, and an outboard sampler-player called a Proteus/2.
We can call these three implementations each a "sub-instrumental-box" for
lack of a better name. That is, each implementation will have 16
MIDI channels, so it is like an outboard sampler-player as a stand-alone
box.
The environment will be configured so that only one of these three
sub-instrumental-boxes can play at a time. Thus, you either choose
the Garritan Orchestral Strings (GOS) implementation, the Apple
JamPack implementation, or the Proteus/2 implementation.
You will be able to change the implementation by adjusting a Cable
Switcher within the environment, or you will be able to send a MIDI
program change to the Cable Switcher, where a program change of 0
means the cable switcher sets itself to 0, a program change of 1
means the cable switcher sets itself to 1, and a program change of 2
means the cable switcher sets itself to 2.
If the Cable Switcher is valued at 0, GOS is used. If the Cable Switcher
is set at 1, Apple's Jampack Orchestra is used. If the Cable Switcher
is set to 2, the out-board, Proteus/2 is used.
Each sub-instrumental-box will have, potentially, up to 16 unique sounds.
Each unique sound will be accessed by what channel the input note is
playing on.
Thus, if an incoming note is on channel 1, it will be played arco (regardless
of whether the implementation is GOS, Apple, or Proteus/2).
If an incoming note is on channel 6, it will be played pizzicato (regardless
of whether the implementation is GOS, Apple, or Proteus/2).
Let it be assumed, that the Garritan Orchestral Strings (light) will use more memory
and more processing power than Apple JamPack. Whether it is a significant
difference I do not know. And, of course, the out-board, Proteus/2 uses the
most minimal of computer resources, because it generates its own sounds
externally (though these strings sounds are not very good when compared to
Apple and GOS).
So, the idea of this set-up, here exemplified only in the Violins I section, is that
while one is composing, and adding more instruments, sometimes the limitations
of your computer will require you to "downgrade" from Garritan Orchestral Strings
to Apple's JamPack strings, or even down to the out-board, Proteus/2.
For example, one might already have a sketch of the string section for a
passage, and now one is adding a trumpet; perhaps this trumpet uses
up the next bit of processing power such that the passage no longer
plays correctly. This, one hopes (as this set-up is brand new), could
be alleviated by taking the Violins I (and other string
sections), and switching them to play on the out-board Proteus/2. While the
Proteus/2 strings are poor, they still are strings, and they could play while one
focuses on the trumpet part.
Once I have given more details about this set-up, I will not then go into the
details of how you use the score editor. But, this set-up is meant to be used
with the Score Editor. Let me add these small points of detail about how
this set-up will interact with the Score Editor:
1. Within the score editor, you can select on or more notes, then click and
hold on the channel number in the left pane, and move the mouse up and
down to set all the notes to a given channel (assuming you also hold down
the option key if the initial channels for the notes is not the same).
Thus, you change the channel of the note or notes and their articulations
will automatically be changed from, say, arco to pizz.
2. Within the score editor, you can click in a region between two staves so
as not to select any notes or any staves, then set the default channel to
some value, such as 6, which represent pizz. Then when you enter a new
note using the pencil tool, that note will be associated with channel 6
and thus will be played pizz.
3. Within the arrange window, for a given track using the Violins I multi-
instrument, make sure that the Port is Off, the Channel is All, the Program
box is unchecked, and the Volumn box is unchecked.
In short, you can control the articulations of the notes without ever leaving
the score editor.
There is a down side, however. If you intend to have two, rhythmically
independent lines in one staff, and they are the same articulation (such
as arco, i.e., they are both MIDI channel 1 in this example), then you
will not be able to do so, because Apple has perhaps followed the "Village Idiot"
anti-pattern in some of its work on the Logic Pro application. That is,
this anti-pattern is exhibited when a new concept is introduced, but
instead of defining an interface for this new concept, either lack of funds,
time, or desire, results in the re-using of a previously defined interface
to carry out this new task.
Here is an example. I currently have a kitchen with a light and its
associated light switch. I hire a handyman to insert a disposal within
the sink. The handyman, being short of time, resources, and resolve,
hooks up the disposal to my light switch. Now, whenever I enter into
the kitchen and turn the light on using the light switch, the disposal
also turns on. Instead, the handyman, should have created a completely
independent interface to be used to turn the disposal on and off. Turning
the light on and off is a different concept from turning the disposal
on and off.
The use of the Village Idiot anti-pattern is potentially* used by Apple when it
says that a channel number is used to define one or more independent
lines within a staff. Instead, to avoid this anti-pattern, they would
come up with a new term, "score channel", "staff voice number", or
something, and build an interface specifically related to this functionality.
Then I could have one staff with two voices, each assigned a unique
"stave voice number", and each having an identical MIDI channel
number (because they are both playing arco).
*Note that I specifically say "potentially". I have not yet experimented
with placing two lines on one staff and then testing if I can get them
to play the same musical instrument. Keep in mind, please, that I am
new to Logic Pro. So, the above may be incorrect or incomplete.
My focus right now is to use Logic Pro while composing, and I am not
yet focusing on creating the best, professional looking score as an
end-product.
I've found one instance (though more may certainly exist) where
the village idiot anti-pattern is used. In the score editor, if I use a
user-defined rest (which, by the way, I always try to avoid using),
and then if I rubber-band select a section of the melody, if I try to
adjust the velocity of notes, I also inadvertently adjust the placement
of user-defined rests. The village idiot anti-pattern seen here is that
the exact same interface (moving the velocity value up and down) is
also used to mean the placement of user-defined rests; clearly, it is
best to create a new interface for dealing with the placement of
user-defined rests.
In summary, the possibility exists that in using the environment spelled
out here, the use of channels for articulations may pose problems for
you when you attempt to place two, rhythmically independent lines onto
one staff when these two lines use the same channel number to represent
their articulation (pizz. for instance). Rohan, and other Logic Pro experts
hopefully can confirm or rebut this warning of mine if it is false.
Within the environment's Violins I Layer, the Violins I multi-instrument has
already been created (the steps were given above).
In this example, I am using ten articulations:
Channel Number Articulation
1 SusV Lite (looped): Sustained vibrato.
2 SusNV Lite (looped): Sustained non-vibrato.
3 Grand Detache Lite
4 Marcato Lite
5 Sautille Lite
6 Pizz Lite
7 Tremolo Lite
8 Trills - Half Lite
9 Trills - Whole Lite
10 Stacatto
The articulation names are taken from the Lite versions of Garritan
Orchestral Strings. The Apple JamPack Violins I do not have all
these articulations. And, the Proteus/2 has even fewer. This, however,
will not end everything, for this means that if a sub-instrumental-box
does not have a Grand Detache, that we simply map Grand Detache
to what it does have, which is just a simple arco.
Thus, as less capable sub-instrumental-boxes are used, not only does
the sound quality degrade, but the articulations start to become less
detailed. Here is another example: Proteus/2 does not have a trill,
so its trill is mapped to a simple arco.
In the environment's Violins I layer, here are the details of the multi-
instrument called Violins I: It's icon is checked, its Port is off,
its Program is unchecked, its volume is unchecked.
Create a new cable switcher object using the menu:
New > Fader > Specials > Cable Switcher
Here are the details of this Cable Switcher (shown when you select it):
Output: Switch
Channel: 1
- 1 - : 48
Input: Program
Channel: 1
-1- : 7
Range: 0 127
Value as Number
Filter: Off
Feedback: unchecked box.
I don't know what all the above means, but I do know that it means at least
that the cable switcher will change value when it receives a program (or
patch) change on any MIDI channel (as described earlier): thus, if it
receives a program (or patch) change valued at 0, the cable switcher
will pass everything through the 0 output port.
Now draw a cable between the multi-instrument to the Cable Switcher.
The Cable Switcher is the gate-way to a particular implementation:
the specific sub-instrumental-box that is currently being used to create
the sounds.
Let's work on the first sub-instrumental-box: the Garritan Orchestral Strings.
Create a new Channel Splitter. Draw a cable from the Cable Switcher to
this newly created Channel Splitter.
The Channel Splitter can split an incoming MIDI signal into 16 MIDI channels
(based upon the MIDI channel of the note passing through). This is how
we will control the articulation.
Now, this next part is personal preference. You may have another working
method. But, we now need to connect the outputs of the Channel Splitter
to instruments. I have set up Logic Pro to automatically create 128 audio
instruments for me. For this sub-instrumental-box, I'll be using the ones
that Logic has named: "Inst 100", "Inst 101", ..., "Inst 109". I open up a new
environment window, and I select these ten instruments, and I drag them
to my current, Violins I Layer, and they are moved. I then close the
environment window I just, newly opened.
Back in the Violins I layer, I connect output channel 1 of the Channel Splitter
to Inst 100, and output channel 2 to Inst 101, and so forth, until I finally connect
output channel 10 to Inst 109.
For each of these ten instruments, I click under the "I/O" label, and bring up
the EXS24 sampler, and from there grab a specific Garritan Orchestral
Strings patch, such as "SusV Lite". Note that the specifics of how Logic Pro
converts the gigasampler format that GOS came in to a format Logic Pro
understands are not detailed here.
This completes the first sub-instrumental-box. (Other details not mentioned:
each instrument was sent to one bus to make mixing a little easier; but,
you can leave these set to outputs 1 and 2 if you wish).
If you send in MIDI notes on channel 1, they will sound as sustained, vibrato.
If you send in MIDI notes on channel 4, they will be marcato, and so forth.
Note, by the way, the "power" of being able to select a specific file having
the specific articulation I desire. Now I am in complete control as to how
this specific articulation will be played. But, if these articulations were
bundled within only one file, where I was forced to either send key-switches
or continuous controllers to activate either arco, marcato, termolo, and so forth,
then I would not have this kind of flexibility and power. By the way,
GOS lite sounds also have key-switched patches for those who like to
play the notes at the keyboard; but, in this instance, GOS also has flexibility
in that I am able to ignore the key-switched patches, and use the specific
files each containing a specific articulation. Apple also has a similar
flexibility: for Apple JamPack, you can use continuous controller 4 to
change articulations for some of the patches, or you have the choice
of loading each individual articulation from a specific file set (which is
what will be done in this example).
The next step is to create the second sub-instrumental-box implemented
by the Apple JamPack orchestra's Violins I sounds.
Create a new Channel Splitter. Cable the Cable Switcher (there is one free
node on it) to the new Channel Splitter. Apples Violins I have the following
articulations: Legato, Pizz, Tremolo, Trill Half, Trill Whole. For staccato,
we will load the Violins II staccato patch. By the way, I forgot to mention
that in the GOS, there is no staccato patch for Violins I, and I did a similar
thing, I loaded the Violins II staccato patch to be played by the Violins I.
Now I need some audio instruments to be connected from the Channel
Splitter. Open a new environment window. Drag over "Inst 110",
"Inst 111", ..., and finally "Inst 115".
Cable Channel Splitter 1 output to Inst 110. Set Inst 110 just under I/O to
Violins I Legato. Cable Channel Splitter 6 output to Inst 111 and just
under I/O set it to Violins I pizz. And so forth, using up a total of
6 channels to six instruments of Apple's JamPack strings.
Now, there are some output channels from the Channel Splitter that
are not used, because there is no corresponding patch in the
Apple JamPack. Simply map these to the closest match you can find.
Thus, output channel 2 of the Channel Splitter is patched to
Inst 110 which represents legato and is the closest representation
of "sustained, non-vibrato."
Also, output channel 3, Grand Detache, is linked in an identical fashion,
because plane legato is the closest match.
Output channel 4, which should represent marcato, is mapped to
Inst 112 (staccato), as that is a somewhat representative match-up.
And, you continue in this fashion, mapping the best you can. Remember,
Apple's JamPack does not have the many articulations of GOS lite
patches, it is a specific implementation of the interface. And, the
Apple JamPack will degrade in sound and in the number of unique
articulations, but, theoretically, use up less processing power from
the computer.
Note that you can now click on the Cable Switcher to toggle between
the two sub-instrumental-boxes we have just created. When the
Cable Switcher has "0" written on it, you hear GOS. When the
Cable Switcher has "1" written on it, you hear Apple JamPack.
And, when we are finally done with the steps to follow, when the
Cable Switcher has "2" written on it, you hear the out-board sampler
Proteus/2.
To create the third and final sub-instrumental-box, create a new
Channel Splitter. Cable the free node from the Cable Switcher to
this new Channel Splitter.
Create one new instrument (not a multi-instrument) and label it "Arco Violins".
Create another new instrument and label it "Marcato 2". Create another
new instrument and label it "Pizz Violins". Create a final instrument
and label is "Trem Strings". Obviously the Proteus/2 is not as sophisticated
as either Apple's JamPack or GOS in that there are not necessarily
specific Violin I patches only; so, I tried my best and used "Marcato 2"
for example, even though this is for the entire string family.
The details of each instrument is now given (remember, that some of these
details related specifically to the out-board sample-player, Proteus/2):
Arco Violins:
Port: Port A
Channel 1
Program: box checked - 7.
Volumn unchecked.
Pan unchecked.
Transpose 0.
Velocity 0.
Key Limit C-2 G8
Vel limit 0 127
Delay 0
No Transp. unchecked
No Reset: unchecked.
Style: auto
Marcato 2:
Port: Port A
Channel 4
Program: box checked - 9
Pizz Violins:
Port: Port A
Channel: 6
Program: box checked - 15
Trem Strings:
Port: Port A
Channel: 7
Program: box checked - 18
In the above listings, the Program has its box checked,
and the number which follows it is the specific patch or
sound containing the articulation I need to be produced
by the Proteus/2.
One can now click on the Cable Switcher and activate
one of the three, specific implementations of "Violins I".
You can also send in a program change through MIDI
to accomplish the same thing. However, it is always
possible that if you change the implementation in the
middle of a phrase, that the note off signal for the
last note played by the previous implementation might
be sent to the different, current implementation, with the
net result that the note never turns off.
Now that you have the Violins I layer in your environment,
here are some issues and some questions I'm thinking about (and don't know
the immediate answer to):
1. The GOS sub-instrumental-box used 10 EXS-24 audio-instruments, how
much memory was that exactly?
2. Apple's JamPack adds an additional 6 audio-instruments. How much
additional memory does adding JamPack produce?
3. If my G4 Macintosh has 1.5 gigs of memory, do I care? Is Apple's
Logic Pro program smart enough not to keep these sounds in memory
if they are not used? Or do these sounds always reside in memory?
4. To conserve memory, is it smarter to load Apple JamPack instruments
through the ESX-24?
Thanks,
Sys6

wow! What a post!
Your way of "articulation switching" is very similar to the articulation tool I'm currently using, created by a member named kai. To find out more about his tool and its uses, visit the quick tip post I created: http://proapptips.com/tips/article.php?story=2006092810303559
edit: It turns out the link I provided in the tip has been changed, so if you want to download the tool and its manual, visit http://www.elvenmusic.com/vsl/vsl.html and scroll to the bottom.
Now, as for your concern of scoring two independently rhythmic parts with the same articulation in the score editor, there is a simple way around this problem. Simply add another track using the same Violin I instrument in the arrange page, which will give you 2 tracks in the score editor. This may not be the best scoring solution, as you will now have 2 violin staffs for divisi violin parts, but it will work fine while composing and you can merge the two when focusing only on the score.
Also, I'd like to point out a memory saving tip you will find helpful. First off, its impossible for you to apply your technique for every instrument of the orchestra, as logic limits you to 128 instruments at one time, and given that an full orchestra can easily use 30-40 instruments, you will not be able to load 32 articulations for each instrument (16 GPO instruments and 16 jampak instruments). Realistically you will only be able to load about 3-4 articulations for every instrument. However, logic does not have any limit for instrument OBJECTS, thus you can create "slots" where particular articulations may go, and turn the instrument to "off" and simply load each articulation as needed. Whats cool about this method, is that for the most important articulations that you always want on call, load them up in EXS first, and then turn off the object in the environment window. Now whenever you need that articulation, simply turn on the object to its proper instrument number and the associated instrument patch and EXS instrument will be loaded automatically! Cool huh! You can also open link your environment window to update its data to any other window using the "chain" icon. For example, you can have your arrange page open on on side of your monitor, and your environment window open on the other, and whenever you select violin one, the environment goes to your violin I object, allowing you to quickly add more articulations to your open slots when needed (I have mine on a 2nd monitor, which saves me from having to constantly open the environment when I want to add an articulation).
In answer to your other questions, if you are curious about how much memory your samples are using, run apple activity monitor before you load a sample, and after to get a rough estimate. Make sure to check how often the activity monitor checks ram, as its default may be 5min (dont remember), and keep in mind individual instruments are not that big, its when you load 20-30 that it starts to add up.
As for your 3rd question, logic will keep everything you load in its memory buffer and/or use CPU to keep it ready to go. Each exs you load, even if you dont select a patch, uses computer resources. Thus my recommendation of turning your objects to "off" and only loading articulations as needed.
I dont have apple jam packs, so I cant answer #4. However, you could test it yourself using activity monitor above.
Well done in your implementation of these concepts on your own! I personally had no clue any of this was possible before I stumbled upon Kai's articulation tool. Now that I have, composing with large sample libs as proven a much more enjoyable experience!
All the best, and thanks for sharing this with the logic community!

The DROID RAZR MAXX is feature-rich and can run a virtually limitless number of applications, making it useful for many tasks. Your particular usage will affect how long you can go before recharging your battery. Playing games, running applications, and surfing the Web increase the power use of the computer-like functions of the DROID RAZR MAXX. Calling and texting utilize its phone functions. Depending on your use mix, time between charges will vary. We know you want to use the device to its fullest and offer you these tips to help you get the most from your phone while going as long as possible between charges.
New batteries are not fully charged. Plug the battery charger into your phone and an electrical outlet. Your phone might take several seconds to start charging the battery. Charging time from 0% takes approx. 5.5 hours.
Tips:
It is recomended to use a wall charger to charge the phone instead of USB cable plugged in to a computer.
It may take several charging cycles for your battery to reach optimum performance.
If your device is completely discharged, it may take several minutes for the device to begin charging.
Ensure you are using a Motorola specific charger. Other chargers might take longer to charge your battery, or cause your calls to fail during charging.
Tips to extend battery life:
During initial set up of your Google and social networking account, your phone's battery may drain faster than usual due to the amount of data transferred. After the initial sync, and a few charging cycles, your battery will reach its maximum capacity.We strongly recommend to keep the phone attached to the charger during the initial sync.
See where you power is going: Tap Home > Menu > Settings > Battery information > Battery use.
When setting the phone down after use, quickly press the power key to invoke a blank screen. Selecting a shorter back light duration will also help conserve power by blanking the screen when not in use.
Lower the display brightness. Set Brightness to Automatic or low: Tap Home > Settings > Display >Brightness
Set Screen timeout to 1 minute or less: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Screen Timeout
Turn animation off: Tap Home > Settings > Display > Animation > No animation

Turn WiFi off when not in use : Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Wi-Fi
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use: Tap Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Uncheck Bluetooth
Applications which uses battery power: Certain streaming Music, Music Players, Talk, Video Chat, Navigation, Weather, and Map apps. widgets and live wallpapers, are notorious battery drainers. In addition certain Facebook, Twitter, Email and other apps that constantly sync over the internet can reduce your battery life. We recommend you use the Motorola task manager application. Task Managers let you monitor how apps use memory and processing power and identify apps that are using too many resources.
Reboot your phone If you are getting only a few hours of battery life or your phone is running slow, it is probably not your phone. An app or widget is probably the cause. Restart your phone to clear background apps: Press and hold the power button > Tap Power off. Then turn the phone back on. Daily reboots can help keep rogue apps from taking battery life.
Use the AC adapter to charge your phone whenever possible.
Toggle Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS on or off as needed. These can be placed on your desktop by selecting an open area of your screen and selecting them. individually or using the Android Power Control Widget.
Clear all notifications from the notification bar as much as possible.
Ensure you do not have have duplicate email accounts. Duplicate email account will drain battery life. To check for duplicate email accounts, touch > My Accounts > Advanced set up and ensure there are no duplicates. To remove an account, touch the account > Menu > Remove account.
We suggest charging each night so you start the day fully charged and ready to go!
Tip No.2 Screen Lock..

How does my screen lock and unlock features work with the Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) upgrade?
With Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) your device now has several different lock options available.
To access your lock options, touch > Settings > Security.
Screen Lock Options
Slide - provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly, or open Camera and start taking pictures immediately.
Face Unlock - lets you unlock your phone by looking at it. This is the least secure lock option.
Pattern - lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.
PIN - requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
Password - requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.
The Lock Screen on Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream sandwich) uses two timers. The first timer is the "Sleep" timer which turns off the device display to extend battery life. You can turn the display on and swipe to unlock. The second timer called the "Automatic lock" timer turns on security features like pin, pattern, password or face unlock and protects the device from unknown users. This "Automatic lock" timer begins after the "Sleep" timer expires and you will be asked to enter personally recognizable data like pin, pattern, password or the face unlock when the display is powered on.To adjust the "Automatically lock" timer go to Settings > Security > Automatically lock > Select desired time frame.To adjust the "Sleep" setting go to Settings > Display > Sleep > Select desired time frameIf you are using facial recognition and do not want the "slide to unlock" to appear, set the "automatic lock" timer to "5sec".Power button instantly locksThere is a new option in Android 4.0.4 which will automatically lock the device when the display is on and the power button is pressed. As soon as the power button is pressed your device will lock.To activate the "Power button instantly locks" setting, go to Settings > Security > Toggle the Power button instantly locksIt is important to note your phone may contain security policies set by your IT administrator which may override any settings you attempt to set under screen security.

Little Memory Left

Hello guys
I have a Curve 9360 and here's the story...
I updated my device os to 7.1 and I was surprised that I only have about 90MB of memory left.
I don't have much apps installed, but shouldn't I have at least 200+MB or so memory left?
I don't really know what happened here, anyone of you have any idea why my memory is that low?

Hmm... you may have had a memory leak caused by the OS. you may reload it or switch it back to the old one. Are you on Post paid/

Unhiding Files on my memory card

How do i unhide files and folders on my memory card

Look for Files inside your Applications Folder on Homescreen. Inside the FIles Application, you can access each folder and files, look for the desired directory and press Menu and choose Show All. it will show you greyed out folders or files that were previously hidden, highlight the item, press Menu and choose Properties then untick the Hidden checkbox
Goodluck
Ron
