Purging and Updating Instruments

Select the
PURGE ALL INSTRUMENTS
OPTION
,
or the
PURGE ALL OPUS INSTANCES
OPTION
, to
remove instruments from memory in the
given instance, or across all instances of
Opus, respectively.
When this option has been run, the
PURGE
CONTROL
in the Instrument Rack will
be colored Red, in the lower-third of the indicator, and the RAM usage reports 0 bytes.
As notes are played, samples are loaded instantly into memory in real-time, and the
Purge State will reflect this by turning Yellow, occupying the middle-third of the indica-
tor, and reporting the current RAM usage of the instrument.
Once an instrument is fully loaded into memory, the Purge State will be Green, occupy
the upper-third of the indicator, and report the RAM used by the entire instrument.
