Reverb module CPU problem (on raspberry pi)
Posted: Sun Dec 24, 2017 2:41 am
So, I noticed a behaviour that is a problem - the "Reverb" module uses a lot of CPU percentage after being used.
Replicable on my system as follows:
-Create new project
-Add module "Reverb" (don't need to connect to output)
-Add module for input (e.g. analog generator)
-Show CPU Usage / Module List
-Trigger a single note
... On my system the reverb module CPU usage starts to jump, settling after the note is finished to somewhere between about 8% to 14% most of the time, but ALSO spikes up to much higher usage (sometimes right up to 100%) at seemingly irregular moments.
I could probably handle a 14% CPU hit to be able to use the reverb module (assuming it didn't jump to a ridiculously high percentage when in use), but these "random" spikes make it basically impossible to have it in a chain because I never know when it would be likely to max out the CPU. It's a pity at the moment, as I really like the sound of it and think it adds an awful lot when used well.
