I can run MyOrgan pretty much trouble free with every sample set I've tried anyway. Haptwerk seems to be fine with the free edition anyway too.
But, I tried a few different versions of the Virtual organ company's products, and can only really get the ultra stripped down free version working. Even then, at more than 8 notes held down it starts to crack up on me. The trial version of Positeif III is unusable. As soon as I adjust the 'samples' low enough to get rid of unpractical latency, I'm reduced to 1 or 2 note polyphony before I crack up.
I've designed my own organs using a soft synth called Z3TA, but I'm right at its limits of performance. I can get away with 2 occilaters per voice at most (if I'm running at 2x oversampling).
Using my task manager on windows, Virtual organ company's products quickly get my CPU pegging up into the 80% mark.
Basically it seems my bottleneck is any CPU intensive stuff. The sampled organs like MyOrgan and Hauptwerk fare better.
My system specs:
Compaq presario SR1401NX
330 Intel Celeron D 2.66 ghz with 256mb pc2700 memory
1 gig ram (upgraded from original 256 mb)
Although the processor is a single core, its still a pretty fast one (I thought).
I'm also using an EMU 0404 external audio interface (ASIO)
What am I doing wrong.
I hear of people using VST hosts and running 3 or 4 instances of virtual synths like Z3ta or Virtual organ companys organs all at once)
I can barely get 1 instance to run.
Any ideas? Do I need to start spending more money on an upgrade? Or are there some tweaks I should be doing?
