Its OK when set to a filter frequency, seems to be whilst moving.....

Tried in BWS and S1 3 - same in both (worst in S1)

Are you operating the filter using the GUI or using a modhweel to filter cutoff modulation.
I advise you to use the second possibility.

Thx

If you see my previous post, I get repeatable CPU spikes (and audible clicks) when opening and closing the filter with high resinence - ie the first patch. I ha e tried it in Falcon and Workstation

Performance is generally pretty poor in S1 3 for a sample based instrument (it uses more CPU than for example Ledgend, a full VA) not as bad in Live or BWS but I can still get the spikes if I open and close the filter quickly.

I am on win 10 x64 i7 4ghz with SSD and 16 meg ram, so don't normally have problems.

By the way, it sounds great ! Was just expecting lower CPU and no audible clicks on a largely sample based instrument

Thank you

Is it a confirmed bug? I was mapping the filter to be controlled by DAW automation, I don't always want to play it live with a controler and am often on a laptop with no controler. The patches don't have the filter pre-mapped to the from memory.....

The UI controls of filters done through the script is more CPU intensive than direct engine modulation
but it is mostly noticeable when there is lots of key zone controlled which is not the case in SA2 so It's quite surprising.

Will check this.

Is it just me? I just opened it up in the standalone UVI Workstation, and on certain presets when I turn off the reverb on the FX section (click on "Sparkverb"), it doesn't actually switch off. One those presets is P5-5th Brass.

It shows the delay as being on (as well as Sparkverb and Drive), but it doesn't even sound like delay is on it, so I clicked on the FX at the top right to check it out, and the Delay is set to "Bypass".

It all seems to work right if you go into the FX tab of the Workstation and switch them on or off from there, but not on the main display.

EDIT: I just updated the UVI Workstation to 2.6.8 on my PC and now it works. I think I had 2.6.7.

I haven't tried it in Falcon yet.

SA2 indeed requires 2.6.8 otherwise Phasor is not loaded which shift the FX and explain your issue.

Thanks for the report.

Hi Otristan - Do you know if the sound team have managed to investigate this issue yet ?

I thought it was impossible to load a UVI lib, if it requires a newer version of either the UVI Workstation or Falcon ?

This is fixed and a new version has been uploaded.

We have some script version but not preset version. We probably need to add one at some point.

I will uploaded over the weekend a overview of the Synth Anthology 2 library

Oliver: I would be great if it possible to select the sample content in the GUI. Like you have a preset 1 with a Minimoog but we can change the source and load another sampled synth. So it's easier to create new presets. Would be more flexible

Not going to happen as the sampling is not always identical so this is not technically feasible.

Also get spikes/clicks when pressing after touch and start to get crackles with 3 note chords on the first patch- surely this cant be right, I can play Diva at high quality no problem on my i7?

It's the same with string machine and digital sensations- touch the filter and get crackles....so basically the GUI is unusable and you have to map it by design??

I get distortion when switching a patch in CAMEO or CS-M. This is still present in the latest version of Workstation 2.6.8 which I have just upgraded to

But luckily I don't get such distortion in SA II
