How does it happen? i mean once the osm is exported? does it still calculate it on the spot like vectors or does SM find a way to render it all out? If it does still calculate it does anyone know if those calculations are sent to any GPU if available, or is it sent over to the CPU by default? this i think would heavily affect my decision weather or not to use them.

I can only speculate until an official answer from the devs or more competent people comments:

I think green math is calculated first time and when it gets modified by a control or redraw (and by the CPU anyway); where I see yellow, I guess there's a routine for the GDI+.

Right?

If you want to pre-render graphics, you could use DrawT (Draw to bitmap) component. And instead of drawing it directly in the finished product, you can only draw the bitmap.

You have to decide what's more important: CPU or file size

    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.
