Optimizing CPU Usage
Optimizing CPU Usage
Software synthesizers are highly CPU-intensive. The real-time calculation of audio
waveforms, filters, effects and modulators places a significant load on the host computer's
CPU.
As such, the main limiting factor in software synthesizer performance is CPU processing
power. Each additional oscillator, filter, effect and modulator that is included in an
instrument adds to the CPU load. As a result, it's best to switch off any unused units within
the RMV to conserve CPU resources. It may also be useful to use the send effects of your
host's mixer instead of the RMV's effects as they are shared among all instruments.
