The new feature to sync instances via Rackspace- or Song-list is perfect to move the CPU hungry B-3X organ to a separate instance to distribute the load to a second CPU core. Very useful and easy to use … Thanks.
Is it possible to sync the Main Instance with more than one SubInstance? Would be useful to separate an other CPU hungry VST (like a Moog Synth) from the Main Instance and use more of the available CPU cores.
I assume that the current implementation is limited to a 0ne-2-One connection?!? Or did i overlook something?
Not on the same machine — you can’t have multiple applications listening on the same OSC port, so for now it will only work with a master and a slave (or to use the new terminology, a leader and a follower)
Edit: just speculating now since I’m not near a computer. I don’t remember if, when you use that sync mechanism, whether the receiving instance will send the message out again after receiving the change. If it does, then I suppose you could have the second one resend to a third instance if you configured the ports properly — but be very careful not to set up a loop
Thanks for the feedback and explanation. Will try to cascade instances.
It would be great if a future GP release provides a way to manage more than one follower to distribute VSTs to different CPU cores and to mange them more independent as a separate entity with their own rackspaces and set-ups.
You can’t have multiple applications listening on the same OSC port on the same computer, but you can set up instances like in the screenshot I posted above – three instances on the same computer.
