Weird loading VST plugin

When I want to load an exported vst plugin in the host (tested with FL Studio only) it looks likes it loads twice.

In the taskmanager, when loading, I see the memory-usage going up. And then a huge drop to almost zero extra usage, and then it will load again.

I have tested this also with the example synth. I copied and pasted everything (except the in- and outputs) like ten times to make it bigger for showing in the taskmanager. Maybe this is the cause of the long loading times??

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it. I suspect it's just the schematic being extracted from the dll.

I don't think this process in itself is the cause of long load times, that's more likely to be down to the size of the schematic. Is the plugin load time any longer than loading the schematic in SM?

Note that load time is also increased if the wave tables for the sine and sawtooth waves have to be calculated for the firts time.

I don't use any wave tables etc. It is not a synth I am making. The loading time in the host is about 65% longer. I hope this can help.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
