extreme cpu usage when editing notes while playing [help!]

Whenever I'm editing notes while playing in tracktion (with z3ta+), the CPU usage is increasing immensely! Is there a way to kind of disable this? This happens even if I disable the little loudspeaker icon in the midi editing bar (sorry, I don't know how to describe this in any other way)!

I'd tend to think it's due to that z3ta is eating up your CPU - probably no host on earth can help you with that.
a) don't use the onboard reverb. (turn it off. if you do like z3ta's reverb, use the fx version as a send effect instead)
b) don't use the onboard arp.(turn it off and avoid patches that use arp)
c) lower the polyphoney unless you are holding up some huge chords.
(z3ta's note-stealing is pretty good)

There seems to be a misunderstanding: When the song plays normally, the CPU level is on a normal, average level, even with 3-4 z3ta's, but as soon as I'm dragging any notes around or draw new ones while the song's playing, I get stutters and clicks and the CPU level goes berserk.

sorry, never had that kind of problem here...but I still think it's not totally impossible that by drawing new notes/draging notes can boost up the CPU usage considerably...
that said, I do have some odd CPU usage problem with some plugins occasionally, but never with z3ta though...
Sorry can't be more helpfu. I guess you'll have to test to see if it only happens with certain patches or certain plugin chains or something.
