Audjoo Helix always gets mentioned when low CPU is desired:

LennarDigital Sylenth1 has a very low cpu print.

kHs ONE appears to be very light even on the "full on" patches. Max about 10 or 11% (according to Reaper) on a Core i5.

That is not quite true. I have make some patches what eat 40% on my Q9550. Maxium voices, long release and chord notes = cpu hungry.

The original impOSCar and Oddity both had great sound and low CPU. Haven't tried the new impOSCar.

Korg's Legacy collection also has low CPU.

10/11 cpu on an i5 is quite a bit of cpu. wo freeze. that means in order to run just 8 synths of khs one, you only have 20 percent cpu left for fx processing.

Hmmm strange.. it is widely praised for its low cpu consumption as I can recall because of it's highly optimized code

All those reviews must be wrong then

agreed. sylenth1 is quite good on cpu. but i made a note about when it can be more cpu intensive.

im confused about this one, it usess 10-11 cpu in reaper no less, and on an i5? im not sure if this should be added to the list? what do others think?

2/3 cpu? 66%? Is it really low CPU?

best commercial synths (coded only) with low cpu hit?
