So tell me ... do you think it's safe to assume everybody has SSE? I implemented switching between x87, 3DNow!, and SSE processing. It works but it makes the code ugly and the binary quite a bit larger, so it'd be nice if I could just use the fixed SSE.

Well, SSE showed up around 2000-2001, so I think you can safely assume everybody has SSE

. Even my old PIII 733 which I use occasionally has SSE. SSE2 OTOH... almost there

, with computers being so cheap these days.

'k, since nobody else has complained I'll configure version 1.4 to use SSE then.

Yes SSE only please! I prefer smaller, tighter code...
You can always keep an older version around for the ancient computers.
cheers!

Chris, will there be a new version before the holidays? I would like to see one that automaticaly somehow by the name let's the user know that it is the oversampled plugin and not the normal one. Oh, and the Sonalksis issue would be great too if it would be solved.

Regards and happy holiday!

Nope, sorry, too busy

But again, since version 1.3 the oversampler does change the name ("MyPlugin" -> "[OS] MyPlugin"). If this doesn't work for you even with 1.3 or 1.3.5, please let me know what host you're using.

Well you could assume that people without SSE wont waste processing power on oversampling anything.

Anybody read CM121 yet?

punkrockdude · Post by **punkrockdude** » Mon Dec 24, 2007 9:07 pm

I have tried it in Sonar 6 Studio Edition and Samplitude 9 SE. Samplitude shows two of each plugin and I have to check which one takes up most CPU to know which one Oversampler is. Regards

That's weird. Will investigate in the next few days.

Ey, what's happening around these parts? Chris you are making a great plugin but please fix some of the bugs so I can use it with confidence. Rock on!

Punkrockdude, Chris says he's working on a new version on and off and he'd like you to beta test a little.

Chris Walton · Post by **Chris Walton** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 1:20 pm

Thanks Bonte

I'm going to bump 1.3.5 to stable and bring out 1.4 beta in a few minutes. The new beta has support for SSE, 3DNow!, and also recognizes itself if it's called _os.dll instead of the traditional .os.dll

I have not been able to test 3DNow! detection because I have no AMD machine available to me. I hope it works.

I've gotten a report that it seems to not show inside Reaper, so I will investigate that, as well as the name issues punkrockdude mentioned.

The first time I opened plugins with the 1.4 beta, it said "SSE support detected", but it doesn never appear anymore so in Samplitude 8 I can't know which one is which since it doesn't add .so to the name. Regards

Chris Walton · Post by **Chris Walton** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 11:41 pm

Yeah, it should only happen the very first time the .dll is loaded.

I'm still at a loss why the name doesn't show up for you .. my DVD drive is broken at the moment so I can't install the samp 8 SE I have

VST Oversampler 1.4 (with SSE/3DNow! support)
