While on the topic of performance and simultaneously promoting my new soundset, the following demo has 108 instances of Serum in a single project along with a single instance of the FabFilter Pro-L limiter.

I have a question for the experienced folks please-
I have an ascending sawtooth LFO driving the wavetable position. It creates a short phrase of spoken works that I imported. If I change the LFO shape to decending sawtooth, it will play the phrase backwards (not exactly true, but it sounds passable). Is there a way to morph between these LFO shapes using, say, the Modwheel?
Man, the more I learn, the more excited I get...

You could assign a second LFO to wt position and assign the wheel to both, one set to inverted in the matrix, so with the wheel down LFO 1 is active, wheel up introduces LFO 2, middle position freezes wt position in the middle of the Wavetable.

That is a very good idea. I was headed the wrong way thinking I would assign the wavetable in inverted order to OSC B and morph between A and B. That would have been much less efficient, and would sound different too.Sampleconstruct wrote:You could assign a second LFO to wt position and assign the wheel to both, one set to inverted in the matrix, so with the wheel down LFO 1 is active, wheel up introduces LFO 2, middle position freezes wt position in the middle of the Wavetable.
Thank you sir.

What are the specs on the rig it was made on?

Thanks! My system is actually somewhat dated:highkoo wrote:Cool track!

Intel i7-2600K 3.4G Quad-Core
16GB DDR3 1866 RAM
Focusrite Saffire 6
The biggest wall I was running into with this ridiculous amount of tracks was RAM. 32GB would have been optimal. Though with new motherboards being able to handle 128GB, the next time I upgrade everything I'll probably bite the bullet and go for 64GB if funds allow. I have other VIs I like to use that eat up many times more RAM than Serum.

Nice. Are high unison pads hard on your cpu? I have a similar build using Cubase 7 and pads with decent release times are killing me unless I just hold out notes.Greg Houston wrote:Cubase 7.5JC_ wrote:What DAW are you using?

You need to limit that rez, bro.

Yes. I use them sparingly, and not with long release times.JC_ wrote:Nice. Are high unison pads hard on your cpu?

I recommend using the FREEZE function if your DAW offers that.
Cubase, and most DAWs offer the ability to record (freeze) the performance from your VST instrument.
This means that high CPU loads from a live synth (serum, for example) can be dramatically reduced.
The result is, gaining the ability to record many tracks of high CPU instruments with little quality lost.
Check out your DAWs documentation for the details.
