I have Falcon 3 and many soundware of UVI and they run easily on my M2 Pro (quadra, whoosh, meteor, world suite 2, drum designer and many more).IvyBirds wrote: ↑Fri May 10, 2024 6:07 amDiva and HALion7 both support using multiple cores. Falcon doesn't, so yes it's quite possible for Diva to use multiple cores and not choke your CPU while Falcon can and will because it can only use a single core
If all you are doing is simple single timbres Falcon is fine, complex layered sounds it struggles even with an I9 and 32gb of RAM. That's why I sample it playing a single note at a time
I guess the time you will accept only one instance of one instrument choke fully one of your CPU are very very rare and unlikely. At least it never happened to me. Even less with Falcon.
I am not sure if multi-core support is interesting most of the times for synths as the DAW will generally work on distributing the different VSTs over the various cores.
