    Hello everyone - new to Kontakt.

    I noticed in the instrument that is loaded, there is an option under Source, for DFD, or Sampler. I noticed that when set to DFD, the memory usage is lower. I know DFD is dir from disk, but is there a disadvantage to using it this way? Obviously less memoery usage is good, but is there a reason NOT to use DFD, but sampler instaed?

    Thank you!

    theoretically the CPU hit is lower with sampler and you can use sample start modulation ...

    hope that helps

    best

    Yes - steff3 is right: Sampler mode is required e. g. in case you want to use sample offset, for things like legato effect etc. In DFD mode this will not work.
