Optimising System Performance
↓ Achieving optimum system
perfomance
↓ Note: Audio stuttering occurs
when the system processor is not
fast enough to keep up with
audio processing demands.
Summary
OTHER SIMULATION TOOLS
• Use only .WAV audio files that have the same sample rate as
the master clock. While WavePlayer-2 can playback audio
files of other sample rates, CPU intensive calculations are
required that can greatly reduce system performance.
• Keep the number of channels that receive pitch-bend
messages to a minimum. Pitch-bend messages require CPU
intensive calculations and can reduce system performance.
• Use the maximum buffer size with the longest system
latency. This will greatly reduce the load on the processor.
If the above optimisation tips have been followed and audio
stuttering still occurs, reduce the number of simultaneous voices
or upgrade to a faster Pentium processor.
• WavePlayer-2 allows the loading and playback of .WAV
format audio files.
• The WavePlayer-2 is controlled by Socket with SNAP
commands.
• The WavePlayer-2 can play up to 24 simultaneous output
channels using the system processor.
• Audio generated by the WavePlayer-2 is accessed via the
ADAT inputs in the Huron Patchbay.
