Cheers and thanks again

Fantastic, ik! I've loved this thing from the start and it just keeps getting better.

hey ik, I tried this new version at lunch and it wigged fruity out!
I tried the new version on a p3 667 and fruity loaded it fine, but when I tried to play a note, my hourglass kept going from the pointer to the hourglass.....and then my cpu jumped to 84 %
do you think there is a denormal problem in this new version?

ik, thanks for dirtbag..
my deepest sympathy regarding your loss...

"final" ... I mean, I can't really add more to it w/o increasing CPU usage.
Now, it hits the 45% CPU mark sometimes on my Athlon XP, 1.4GHz.
I afraid with further expansion, eventually it would became unusable.
Don't forget ... its a SynthEdit creature.
But I'll (try to) correct gliches, bugs, do minor modifications....

Now, anyone out there wanna port this to C++ coded "real" VSTi? ... contact me ...

Mighty: I'm afraid it's not a denormal problem. This thing became
an elephant with the latest features added. (See my prev post.)
I can still run safely a "dual manual Hammond setup" with Chainer,
but running two DirtBags parallel it uses 65% CPU on my system.
I am not too surprised by the 84% on your P3.
Any plan for an upgrade?
ik.

im waiting on a new motherboard as we speak
thanks, I will try it then on my new DAW

Isn't there a chance of the CPU consumption improvingn with development of SE itself? I've seen it hinted at.
Either way we'd all love to see Dirtbag ported to C++, somebody help ik please??

Holy snappers ik! You just don't stop! Looking foward to trying this gem out, and will teasure it highly!

So if you say this is the 'final version' - how can I tell you to 'keep up the good work'? You're much appreciated by me how about then?

patchworkcat and Mighty:

Actually I found a (the) glich:
Knobs turned to min or max values don't necessarily have the expected values, but many times holds way out of range value, and this costs LOTS of cpu. In other words:

TO ALL SE CREATORS:

Make sure when you create a new preset, knobs with min or max values needs to be "tuched" al least once to "learn" the min or max value for the actual preset!!!!!!!

This costed lots of cpu in DirtBag:
Now, the "dual manual Hammond setup" costs ~ 25% cpu with two DirtBags running parallel, instead of the previously noted 65%.
(AthlonXP, 1.4GHz)

The good news: I'll upload soon the corrected v 1.81.
The bad news: You need to download it again.... sorry.

These are only good news. I would download it every day because it´s so good. ik, you don´t have to say sorry, we have to say to you: THANK YOU for that gift and for working on it further on in that hard time for you. And knowing the meaning of the small candle on it, it´s a very special VST-organ for me.

Yeah. What Andreas said.

Ditto
:mrgreen:
Thanks ik!

Istvan,

MidiSoftStick was the first thing I've ever downloaded from your page, and it gave me endless hours of fun and joy. DirtBag clearly follows the same tradition, and I'd venture to say it's the best Synthedit creation in terms of polished, high-class quality output that I've come across so far.

Thank you very, very much for all the incredible work you've shared with us in the last couple of years!

thank you for the great instument never thought i'd have a use for an organ but I was wrong this thing is great

cheers
Rob

YAAAAYYY!!!
well since you found the problem, hell I don't mind re downloading it!!
let us know when the new version is up and I am on it.
again thanks and I hope you and your immediate family are doing good.
