Is this a joke? One of the highest cpu synths I have! I suppose if you're doing really simple VA with it, it's not bad, pads can eat half a core easily! Never had any issues with it at all, never had to check the CPU useage on it, never had a single tiny break up of sound, I only use a Core Duo too, so yeah seems fine for me. |

Alchemy uses very little CPU here. DUNE is also light on CPU, unless you go too wild with unison and voice count.

Maybe your core duo is actually i3 (2 cores)? im using Core 2 Quad Q9400 with 2.67 ghz and simple 1 oscilator without modulation with unison at 21 takes 8 percent of CPU and thats without any additional effect, only 1 pure oscilator. Even developers/people from camel audio admits that Alchemy is not easy on CPU. Honestly i dont believe that it takes so small amount you are saying...  |

If you need lots of instruments for real time playback, you might want to check out rewiring Reason into your DAW.
It's super good, can't recommend it enough for people with slower computers. |

+1 for Dune, always amazes me, especially as i still have one of those antique Dualcore-CPU's.  |

Core i5/i7 result in very light CPU use, Core 2 Duo reasonably light, unless polyphony is set too high... Are you sure Phantom is heavy? It runs very good even on a Pentium 4... |

It has some setting or something to put extra latency or something to dont put so much strain on CPU |

Not really, no. It's simply coded more efficiently. |

I just ran a quick test of Alchemy with 24 oscillators - similar to the patch themachinelt is using - in Reaper 4.25 and FL Studio 10.0.9.
Reaper: 2.5% CPU FL Studio: 8% CPU Note it was a very quick / rough test. Also the CPU meter in any host is not a very reliable way of measuring overall performance, it's just a rough guide. Better is to compare the number of instances that will run simultaneously but then it's not a real world test. None of this really matters, unless you are hearing pops n clicks due to CPU overload while working on a typical composition. Peace, Andy.
