As discussed in this thread there are big problems with the CPU performance.
On the manufacturer's page of NANCY only the approximate RAM requirement is mentioned. There is no mention of CPU. So, as an uninitiated user, you can assume that a current PC with good CPU performance and enough RAM will not cause any problems.
Now buyers are reporting the problems with CPU performance. Piotr is reading this thread for sure. But no information comes from him what CPU monster you need for the NANCY sample set. Apparently, no one really knows.
This is comparatively like buying a machine that you plug into a wall socket. If you only use a little power, everything works fine. If you use the full power, the fuse blows.
A sample set is produced of which nobody knows which PC is needed for it. Even if they did know, pretty much ALL NANCY customers would have to buy a new PC. Such a thing is called "developed past the needs of the customer" (not designed for most customers). It would be fair of Piotr to explicitly point out this fact.
The sample set should have been developed for Convolution Reverb from the beginning. It has been reported that a sample set with IR does not sound as good as a multi-channel set. This is logical. If you only use one IR, then you only have one perspective. If the manufacturers would use multiple IR's then you have an absolutely high quality solution.
I think it is high time to align Hauptwerk and sample sets to Convolution Reverb in an optimal way. Then there will be no more big performance problems with a current PC. And then you don't need more than 64 GB. This is pure madness, what a Hauptwerk customer is expected to do.
