I’m looking to add Octave shifter to add to my board - down shift.
I tried Gxdetune it works but it takes up about 30% of compute. I have board with Portal running to reduce compute.
I notice even if I bypass the Gxdetune it still keeps compute up in red. Is it possible for dwarf os to take pedals out of compute chain when bypassed?
I got working with sink after Gxtune with no other pedals before it and the Source before Fuzz pedal, going into Tweaker amp - that brought compute down to 65%. Is it common to put heavy pedal like this into sink early in chain? Or is there a less heavy way to do this? I think I will need to have a separate pedal-board for this as snapshots can’t change order of pedals. Appreciate any tips or pointer to ther pedals.
It should lower the CPU usage a bit when bypassed, but it never goes to the same value as if it were simply not there, since the CPU still needs to wait for what the plugin may be doing.
I didn’t undertand 100%, but I guess that you are using the Portal plugins wrong. They ALWAYS need to be used together in order to be effective.
Basically, when you use the Portal plugins, you send whatever is between them to a different CPU core. This “branch” of plugins will then get a cycle of latency.
Take a look here to find some tips on how to save CPU resources.
In general, it seems that you are using quite heavy plugins, since the Tweaker is a modeler and therefore hungrier on CPU. Anyway, on the Gxdetune, have you tried to change the Latency mode?
I don’t know exactly what your goals are, but eventually the 2Voices, or the Drop with a low fidelity can be a good solution. Or perhaps also the GxOC-2.
