This really depends on your computer, but it is in about the same range as a virus powercore, since a little bit of cpu time is of course needed to transport the audio streams and manage automation and midi events. |
Thanks for the reply tk. Can you still give an example of the cpu usage with any computer in percentage, when using the TI and the 2 stereo streams and a couple of virus tracks playing at the same time? For example, with my computer the Virus Powercore needs about 2% of one 1.8GHz G5 cpu, when playing the virus (all 4 stereo-channels) in logic 7 @ 512 samples buffer and 44.1kHz.
How about the TI's polyphony, if you use about 5 tracks and 4 of them have their own reverb? It says that the TI uses the DSPs dynamically and I was just wondering if the 80 voices of polyphony is just a dream if about every sound uses a delay/reverb at the same time? Most of the sounds I use with Virus depend on the delay/reverb so I won't be turning it off.
