Optimizing CPU UsageSoftware synthesizers are highly CPU-intensive. The real-time calculation ofaudio waveforms, filters, effects and modulators places a significant load onthe host computer's CPU.As such, the main limiting factor in software synthesizer performance isCPU processing power. Each additional oscillator, filter, effect andmodulator that is included in an instrument adds to the CPU load. As aresult, it's best to switch off any unused units within the Octopus toconserve CPU resources.It may also be useful to use the send effects of your host’s mixer instead ofOctopus's effects as they are shared among all instruments.Manual 47
