Does anyone have any tips on improving CPU levels? Is there a newer version of a cpu meter i could use to track down the parts of my schematic which are causing problems? And i really have no idea what to do to fix it when i find them so what are the things that can be done once a problem is found? thanks

I just took out all the preview screens from the knobs from the wavedraw, some property stuff and what not...reduced the schematic already by a third. Memory and CPU usages are certainly much better then before!

Hmm interesting i thought that purgeable modules dont get exported to VST and i think that the preview modules are marked as purgeable. Does it improve the CPU in exported versions also?

Ahh, properties stuff . . I didn't think of that, thx!

The preview stuff of the knobs is connected to non purgable stuff...I took all of that out.

hmm, I've not really looked into this. Doesn't it make it very hard to make revisions once you have stripped stuff out?

I understand that you most likely keep a 'full' version too, but after every feature change on the full version you must go through again and take out all these properties elements. Thats sounds a long-winded process to repeat often. 😮

Making more stuff purgable must be the best option if viable.

No I do not keep a full version....I just threw out things in stuff what I for sure knew is done right...It is really quite easy to bring that knob preview stuff back in, specially with the synchronising option. I edit most stuff directly in the schematic and not through the properties window BTW, much faster for me in large schematics anyway, where I am waiting a long time (2 to 3 secs) on opening property windows...

    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.
