Hey there,
I have a sound design work session with a classical pianist virtuoso planned.
I want to create custom patches and modulations for him with Vital but as of now, the only way I’m able to use Vital is with a 2048 Live buffer, which is unplayable for a keyboardist. Most polyphonic patches and long decay presets are problematic and blowing my CPU. It’s the only synth in my arsenal that behaves like this.
I use Vital 1.0.7 and I tried the lowest oversampling setting but that doesn’t help much.
Is there one last thing I can try???
before giving up and starting the sound design sessions with the pianist with another synth. I’d really prefer using Vital.
Well different plugins have different CPU demands. Vital is not the most CPU friendly synth I own but it is far from the most demanding. So “everything else runs like a charm” can be misleading.
2.6 GHz might be a little light to run Vital at full power while still being enough to run other plugins.
Out of curiosity which ones are the most demanding?
I was just patching with Zebra2 and Rapid tonight, went without any cpu issue.
yes, Vital on its own doesn’t run on my laptop, I guess I’ll be patient and wait for the next Macbooj Pro
