...just interested in finding out what plugins are giving trouble with denormalisation...I'm going to upgrade to a P4 and I am interested in any info anyone can provide about their troubles. Thanks!

I got very much trouble with the EXS24 mkII when using the filter... first moved to Kontakt, later to mac fixed this...

Get Normalizer from digitalfishphones.

At the URL above Sascha explains it all far better than I could.

Normalizer don't help anything with a synthesizer. Because the denormalization occurs completely inside the sound engine of the synth (concreete: in the feedback loops) and not in the audio stream between the effects.

I saw people here complaining about Mini Monsta and a slew of other stuff,but I can't remember them all.I think the Pentium M is a bit better in that reagard(shorter pipeline?),but I still see complaints with that.Anyway,good luck with Intel.

Right. I've used it with a few effects that had given me trouble. Don't remember which, it's been a while.

I haven't had any issues with minimonsta, other than the fact that some of the patches especially with unison on are real computer killers. But I don't think it has any denormal issues. Do you really think that the G-Force boys would forget that?

The only thing with minimonsta is it is just insanely CPU hungry. But that is what you get for a great sounding emulation.

psp84 always had strange cpu-usage here ...

Well,they were aware of the problem and it sounds like it has been dealt with.

In unison it registered about 30%-35% on my Athlon XP 2400 and about 10%-15% in normal mode which isn't that bad,nowhere near as bad as Cube which was almost unusable to me.

Thanks for the posts guys. Once you discover a plugin has the bug, what steps do you take? I just got my new PC today so I'd really like to know....
