    Hello distinguished forum members,

    I hope that someone can help me with a trick or two (Kontakt settings perhaps?) that will make Zero-G's fantastic Ethera VST instrument load faster. As an example the Ethera Time Menu 2.0 instrument takes 5 minutes to load in Kontakt. It makes no difference if it is Kontakt stand alone or in my DAW.

    I am running a Lenovo Y530-15ICH-1060 with Intel Core i7-8750H CPU and 8GB RAM. In my DAW, with Ethera Gold loaded, I still have 1GB unused RAM.

    Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

    Many laptop's hard drives are only 5200RPM, very slow by today's standards. You might want to consider replacing it with a SSD drive. SSDs are extremely faster than an 5200RPM drive.

    Also if possible you might want to increase your ram size to 16GB.

    Also make sure to add exceptions to your sample drive in Windows Defender.
