The Windows or the OSX version? Only the OSX version needs to be re-registered.Vonbrucken wrote:well i didn't had to re-Activate my reg though i didn't installed toxic since my last disk format

I guess you mean external wave files import - no panic, it's still thereThat sounds to me more like a SERIOUS downgrade...
Just big 16 meg (hidden) files are removed. Those were pre-calculated standard Toxic waves, so Toxic will take 16 mb smaller size on your HD, that's it.-

You might want to reword the description then:Maxx Claster wrote:I guess you mean external wave files import - no panic, it's still thereThat sounds to me more like a SERIOUS downgrade...
*WAV soundset is now built into the plugin*
sounds better than what you had, I too thought that it meant no more importing WAVs, and it was a plugin I've been looking at buying.

Hey Maxx.Nice update.
I think the CPU usage is handled better, maybe because if the denormalisation.
The fxb's are now significally less than before.
I can also see that you've put some drum presets as well.Nice.
One problem though is the right click on values.
I am using EXT and right click doesn't recall any more the default value in a parameter.Did you accidentaly wipe this out or was this done on purpose.
I miss this feature.
Cheers

Maxx how can you take a 16MB plugin and squash it down to 970Kb, can you explain that in more detail?

They are spread among standard ones... checkout PlayItSlow sequence btw. One of my favourite. But sounds well only if you have about 90 bpm or smaller in your trackWhat are the new 36 presets?

Seriously - I just improved code so it now calculates stuff on the fly. Toxic waves include lots of spectrum info (it's necessary to make it sound good on all frequencies), and now I made the code which calculates it quickly, rather then loads it from HD. It was... "waves" folder in previous update. If it still presets on your HD - you may delete it with no damage to ToxicIII.
Also, I used pretty tricky data compression on presets, so it takes 10 times smaller space on 99.99% patches.
There is no quality loss of any kind, if you may worry about it...

Maxx, next time around you might have a look at optimising the FX so they don't eat CPU when there's no sound being produced (I know it's tricky!)
I'm building a new system and running some tests on my old one.
Basically I just opened FL Studio and added 10 instances of Toxic III as channels (the default Age of Fear PAD)
With Chorus, EQ and Delay ON it uses about 45% of CPU when it's not doing anything.
With the FX switched OFF the CPU goes down to about 16% on average.
I'm measuring the CPU with Windows Task Manager.
I know gol put in "Smart Disable for All Effects" but I don't think this works on FX built in to the VST.
All the same - thanks for one of the best Synths around!
