Just extracted the hanging bug that I experienced during searching a test for the green data path bug and post it in a new thread as it seems to be unrelated to the other one.

This should be pretty much self explainatory. Perhaps SM can't handle too complex calculations?!?

Greetings, NothanUmber

Perhaps SM can't handle too complex calculations?!?

I don't think it can to be honest and is the same with various structures which is one of the reasons i keep hinting that SM should be optimized because i am being held back in terms of doing really complex things and i am wondering if that would help much. But things have got a lot better though. 🙂

The problem here was caused by the fact that the log and power components recalculate each time a result is requested. In the example you've posted the number of calculations becomes exponentially larger as the chain of log and power components increases.

I've changed the way these work so that they only calculate once per event. This makes everything very much faster.

Cool, thanks Malc 🙂

    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.
