KVR Audio

I have a quick question for you Sonicfire....

As I understand it, you have the ability to layer up to 8 sounds. However, if I am only playing one sound at a time, am I going to be using up the same amount of CPU as I would be if I were playing 8 sounds at a time? This may not be exactly what I'm asking, so let me try another way?

Is there something in Phenome that turns off the layers that are not used? So that if I am only using one layer, the other layers are turned off--thus maximizing the efficiency of the VST?

I hope my question makes sense. I'm just wanting to know if things are designed to be as efficient as possible...

Thanks for your patience with my question.

@audiojunkie:

No, when you only play one soundfont (one patch from a soundfont) on one layer, only this layer is using CPU

(The other layers are automatically "switched off" when not in use)

I cannot download any of the samples. I am getting forbidden errors.

I am using chrome.

Thank you, Dennis, for this!!!!

Latest version now loads banks -- as long as they are numbered "0" -- and patches in all slots, but it does not (correctly) load banks numbered other than "0" in _any_ of the slots -- in such cases, it produces a blank instead of a patch name in the slot. I've tried here with SF2 files having bank numbers 1, 2, or 3, with no success.

Really a beautiful (and useful!) plugin. Maybe it's time to retire Sfz.

Thank you very much!

Would love to know that as well
same here with eXT2...after selected one bank with 128 patches, I can't choose another than the first one in the layer 2 to 8 (the sound of the patch is still the same than the first)

It's ok for me...no more problem with the last 1.2 version.

Thanks
