Oscillator RA-1 cpu usage in VM2.0

Post by rsover »

Hi, after the release of VM2 I am seeing a huge increase in cpu from your Oscillator.
I have a poly patch that went from ~50% CPU usage to 120% CPU usage. This is shown in Ableton,
Also using VM in standalone, the patch can not play at 1024 samples.

With the old VM, I could play the patch at 512 samples buffer with no issues, and Oscillators set to HQ.

Is not something critical for me right now, not sure how to submit this issues so created the topic.

I guess is a general issue on VM2, as other modules, use more cpu now than before.

Nice preset. (= There are a couple of things to check.

1) Is it possible that presets or other modules were still downloading in the background?
2) Also, we have a new OpenGL detection system to help avoid 'blackscreen' that some users would get. If it thinks that OpenGL is not available, it will turn off the option. Perhaps something went awry there? Check your OpenGL settings on the "CPU" tab.
3) We are using the latest version of Java which has hot spot optimizer. As Java learns where the cpu hot spots are, it may take some time.
4) I can also see that the CPU cuts in half when removing the 3 RA-1 oscillators

See if any of that applied and if the problem is persisting.

Thanks!

Today was a bit better, guess that there were still modules downloading.
Will see as it goes for a while and come back if needed.

Thanks.

The VM 2.0.15 Fixed the cpu load further.

Thx.

Sorry for late. The problem seems to be resolved.
I will update when I find the way to make the module more efficient for CPU, since both RA-1 and SQ-1 are relatively heavy...

VM 2.0 is so nice! Thank you for your work!
