MoonThrone - Rhino Version
(This is a theme I wrote for MoonThrone, a now defunct PC MMORPG)
Setup:
- Used only stock patches from that set
- Seven Instances of Rhino loaded in Chainer slots, each slot with a different midi channel assigned
- Used a virtual midi port called Maple Midi
- Playback of original GM midi file via Musicwrite, which is a plain vanilla GM midi playback sequencer
- CPU peaked at about 20% max at a point where there was three or more polyphonic tracks playing simultaneously
- Recorded one shot, directly to audio using SoundForge v6, with some ambient reverb added to the mix
This was just a quick test to see if I could actually stack five or more Rhinos in a mix and it worked perfectly ! I know, it's kinda cheesy, but the point here is that the OB sounds cut so well through the mix, and I got no audio artifacts even with seven Rhinos playing simultaneous polyphonic tracks ! I don't think I ever attempted this with any other VA, I tried another commercial VFM with only two mono track instances, and it croaked like a frog.
Really having fun with this VFM, looking forward to using it with the band soon, Rhino is incredible
