On the Roland Cloud page it says almost on every plugin that 3.8 GB or more is needed for each plugin. Here is the real amount of disk space for each Anthology, Flavr and Tera plugin on my PC. No one is near 3.8 GB, but Tera Guitar actually takes more space than claimed.
Anthology 1985 1 (1232 MB)
Anthology 1985 2 (1412 MB)
Anthology 1986 (2350 MB)
Anthology 1987 (2257 MB)
Anthology 1990 (2571 MB)
Anthology EP14 (22 MB)
Anthology Orchestra1 (2224 MB)
Anthology Orchestra2 (2140 MB)
Anthology Orchestra3 (1908 MB)
Anthology Orchestra4 (1893 MB)
FLAVR Midnight (153 MB)
FLAVR Electrocode (560 MB)
FLAVR FunkyFever (1738 MB)
FLAVR Grit (233 MB)
Tera Guitar (170 MB - site currently says 80 MB or more!)
Tera Piano (997 MB)

Disk space and RAM are not the same thing.

Significance is that using the standard Roland installers you cannot pick a location for the Anthology sample libraries, so if running on a small SSD the actual size is an issue for some users.

Yes, I run my DAW on a 256 GB SSD laptop (travel a lot). So disk space is important for me. I probably have to buy an external drive. But then the possibility to choose/change location for their catalog is a very welcome addition.Skijumptoes wrote:Significance is that using the standard Roland installers you cannot pick a location for the Anthology sample libraries, so if running on a small SSD the actual size is an issue for some users.

The size is now shown in the Roland Cloud Manager for each instrument. Great! :-)

If you're on OS X you can easily move the files and just create a symbolic link to the folder. Easy-peasy!mangepange wrote:Yes, I run my DAW on a 256 GB SSD laptop (travel a lot).

But you really should get a 1TB SSD in your travel laptop. It's sooo worth it!

Re: Real disk space for Tera/Flavr/Anthology
Symlinks are easy to do, the problem is if you attempt to use the machine without the external drive attached - some apps will attempt to recreate the folder and break the link - moving all files to internal drive again, i.e. Logic is an example of this.
Of course Roland Cloud may just fail to load the libraries and not be like Logic, but i am usually very mindful with using symlinks on a laptop where an ext drive may/may not be present.
