Motorola DSP563xx Emulator (BETA) (Access Virus, Nord Lead, Waldorf MW...)

[recursive one]

The Virus emulation don't need much cpu that is logical.
And the Emulator also don't need that much power.
So work it out right or leave it.

It's not a Virus emulation.

This plugin doesn't produce any sound as such, it makes your computer implement the code which was originally written for an entirely different kind of devices. So you can't really compare it to "emulation" synth plugins like Repro, Obsession etc in terms of the efficiency, it does something entirely different.

An actual Virus emulation plugin does exist and it doesn't take that much CPU.

is this a VirusC patch?

can't find it in my virusB setup

p.s.:
found it - it's a C

afaik -i.e.: from what i've tested - C semms to be a lot more cpu-consuming...
i am getting crackles beginning with the 5th voice
it has a long release and quite some reverb (long tail)
both imho add up to cpu hunger

p.p.s.:
funny:
using it with mystery
and using a preset with an arpeggiator (like mystery, virusC, A010 Future XSV)
when i change a parameter. like for example Cutoff1, it is so demanding
that the arp begins to slow down ))

This isn't a Virus emulation. This is Motorola DSP563xx emulator.

correct
which is the reason this thing and my virusB hardware sound identical with the same preset

btw, while we're at it:

am i the only one where aftertouch/channel pressure is not working ?

My main controller doesn't have aftertouch, and I didn't get a chance to test on a synth that does (I'd have to walk all the way across my office and turn on something else - very difficult). I can try to reproduce later tonight if it's not a known issue and needs confirmation.

Yes I understand that this is something new.
All what I try to say is that the cpu spikes are not a problem of my computer.
It's because nobody has look at this , 4 ghz don't show you the truth.
The emulator work fine and use 10 % sometimes 15 % when you playing 10 voices.
Why it goes crazy for the next 10 voices 90% ?
No matter if you use the Rom of Virus B-C it is the same cpu spikes.

Pedantic objection: Your Virus B will sound a bit different due to the DAC used in the hardware.

This guy gets it ^^

Maybe it just needs to be explained using a pop culture analogy:

The Virus.bin files [ROMs] are Neo. Whereas here on KVR, we exist in the real world.

The developers are the machines. They need to convince Neo and all the other people [synths that also run on the DSP563xx] that they're living in the real world. So they create a simulation of the real world (the Motorola DSP563xx Emulator plugin). The machines have to use a lot of CPU power in order to create the Matrix (the Motorola DSP563xx emulator) in order to trick Neo into believing that he's also running in the real world (a Virus) when he's actually living in the Matrix (this plugin).

See? Easy as pie.

No Neo

It is bad coding !

Morpheus ...

It is bad coding !

If you're going to say something like that, you should show that you can do better. Otherwise, it sounds like you're talking out of your ass.

Maybe this is coded using modern instruction sets for efficiency on modern CPU's that your old CPU doesn't support and chokes up on? I have no idea. But I'm going to guess you don't either.

[OrionAlpha101]

The spikes was from the first version until now.Virus B and C still the same.
Logical nobody cares about it and look why and wastes resources.

Maybe this is not for me but i speak for everybody that want to know why it kills the cpu,
and it doesn't have to be like that.

[vertibration]

You need a really powerful PC to run it, or an M1 chip running native to be able to play unison poly patches without it crapping out

[vata44]

Regardless of any CPU issues, it’s the coolest and best damn thing the virtual synth world has ever seen, or heard. Imo

[arkmabat]

Even Nintendo DS just finally started to be able to run SNES games a few years ago. True emulation always comes at a high cost.

yes...
...but: i couldn't tell a difference...

tried it - exactly the same
even up to the joke part of it (which afaik has to be - law by nature):

turning the cutoff knob on the hardware had no effect
surprise surprise: i was listening to the software without realizing it...
well...
