In the case of my rather complex patch (with currently only 8<br> voices) I have to wait up to ten seconds until the patch is ready again for<br> playback. I am using a 3.2 GHz Athlon II X2 which is not that slow. Simpler<br> synth voices might be faster, though.<br> <br> I think it is much better to create as many voices as needed beforehand and<br> turn unused voices off with the [switch~] object.<br> <br> Ingo<br> <br> ________________________________________<br> Von: <a href="mailto:pd-list-bounces@iem.at" target="_blank">pd-list-bounces@iem.at</a> [mailto:<a href="mailto:pd-list-bounces@iem.at" target="_blank">pd-list-bounces@iem.at</a>] Im Auftrag von<br> Ludwig Maes<br> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28.
