Arturia (and maybe other plugins) setting to keep an eye on

To help optimize CPU usage, don’t forget to check your Poly settings on the Arturia synth plugins. I had a plugin set to 4 voices when I only needed one and it was using a good amount of CPU when idle. It’s easy to overlook as some presets have them set higher, even though you may only be playing it with less voices for that part. Always set it to the lowest voices needed.

Good to know. I’ve been toying with it and am experiencing lots of crackling.

Don’t forget you can even reduce more the CPU usage on MIDI idle with this:

[Gig] Plugin Persist 2.0

This gig file contains the Plugin Persist 2.0 Scriptlet, the major overhaul of the Plugin Persist Scriptlet now with auto-sleep and fade out features. [Plugin-Persist-v2-by-David-san] Introduction: Many Gig Performer users build rackspaces in which they use button widgets to bypass/unbypass instrument plugins in the variations. As plugins themselves may not behave as you would expect when they are bypassed or unbypassed, this scriptlet adds more stability if a plugin is poorly implemented. N…

That’s definitely on my list to try and test out, but for now, I need to focus on converting the rest of my Kronos Combis to GP and run a bunch of show’s worth of playing through them. Once I’m caught up, I can dedicate some time to testing the script at home. Awesome job btw!
