My synth use cpu as hell and also when its not even playing. What can be the problem. My other synths dont use so much cpu. This synth have hz instead of normalized shall i remove the hz mybe?

Hi.

As with any device, begin disconnecting each component until you find the root of the problem.

Cheers!

I tested it dident help. Because in SM it uses 5-6 % cpu and in FL studio 10-12. Very wierd.

Is wavetable based? How many samples use the oscillator?

djbrynte ·

it use 1024

It could be graphic related (animation) why the consumption is twice the amount in FL Studio.

Minimise FL Studio and open up Task Manager while FL Studio is playing. If the CPU is lower with FL Studio minimised and increases with FL Studio maximised, it is graphics related.

Also. Try using a wav file if you are using an mp3. Some DAWs consume more CPU using MP3 files over wav.

Cheers!

It was lower when minimizing. So ti graphic releated. So what could the problems be?

Dell ·

There is no problem. If you are using any type of animation on your design, you are going to consume more CPU. You could perform the same test with no plug-ins and CPU drainage will occur with the DAW maxmised opposed minimised.

Possibly, your current design offers more animation (knobs, switches, metered displays) than your previous models.

Cheers!

Remove the FTT if you added it. And use 512 samples instead of 1024. 😕

djbrynte ·

Whats FTT mate?

djbrynte ·

i changed to 512 and it dident do much for cpu.

CoreStyler ·

In the "Freq" panel. do not use this ftt.

djbrynte ·

what ftt?

I think that did pretty much nix told me what to do. I saved 2% cpu just by removing that.

Thnx for your help corestyler.

Also thnx to Dell. I will try and see what makes graphic suck so much cpu.
