SM's Compressor has the following:

1) In the Lin2db modules (like in compressor x4/compressor/lin2db), the following code is commented out: //float table[2048]; //float i,x; /*stage(0) { loop(2048) { x = i / 1024; table[i] = log10(x+0.000000001) * 20; i = i + 1; } } stage(1) { x = min(lin,2); db = table[x*1024];*/ It's not clear why it has been bypassed; is it there for people to uncomment when they need it to do something else, forgotten testing???

1a) Similar with mix and clip/clipper

2) In db2lin, there are unconnected modules

3) stream abs's code can run faster if replaced sambean's code: streamin i;streamout o; int ABSMASK=2147483647; movaps xmm0,i; andps xmm0,ABSMASK; movaps o,xmm0; (well, more of a suggestion)

cheers

1a&b) Sorry, they are left-overs of different optimizations I tried out. The compressor module is in need of an update. The hop(64) makes it act a bit odd on fast transients etc as well. In the clipper the commented out stuff is different clipper shapes/algorithms that I tested, you can try those out and see if you prefer some other one than the one I settled upon.

If you see me reporting lots of bugs, that means I am working with SM alot. Actually, I have been using SM alot the past few weeks, but mostly just ASM, which causes the typical random SM crashes, nothing worth reporting on the forum.

    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.
