I use logic. I was just wondering if Repro was made more CPU efficient with updates, the same way Diva did when it first came out. I remember Diva had like a 25% increase in CPU efficiency in one of it's early updates.

Repro already has the multicore switch (enable it), and high-quality switch (disable it). It had that from the get go.

I'll give that a try, thanks for passing it on :)

Hello guys,

I work with Ableton (currently 10.0.6) and my setup in terms of synth tracks consists of 6 Tracks.
In each track I have an instrument rack loaded with (Hive, Repro-5, Diva, Bazille and Zebra 2) - *multicore and "draft" settings enabled*

I use this setup across 3 different machines: 1 PC (i7-4770K), 1 Macpro (3,7 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5), 1 macbook pro (i7-2.7 GHz)

So regarding the PC it handles everything pretty well (even with buffer size at 128), but in both macs I find that this setup isn't very stable even when working at higher buffer sizes like 512.

When idle I'm also noticing that Repro-5 is taking a lot of cpu, even more that Diva.
Because this setup will be the one used for live I must guarantee that it's stable on the macbook so it can run everything without any cpu spikes.
Also when building Ableton setups for Live performance I usually avoid getting over 25% when idle and 45% of CPU when stressing.

Although I've been using Hive since it's first release I'm pretty new to some other u-He plugs in terms of CPU usage.
So as right now I have 5 instances of Repro-5. If I disable 4 of the plugs i see a slight drop on cpu when idle but it is only when I disable the last one that the cpu will drop from 14% to 5%. That's strange because this only happens on this particular plug.

So about Repro-5... Anyone running this Live? If so how many instances are you running in a macbook for example?

Thanks

Here's a quote from the manual about the Multicore Threads option:

"The optimum number for minimum CPU load depends on your computer hardware, operating system, host application and how many instances are running in parallel. While using multiple instances of Repro-5 you should generally avoid setting higher values than the default (4)"

Hope that helps.
