That does depend on the efficiency of my implementation, which is still in the process of evolving somewhat. > Do you still plan this to be useful on 1GHz home boxes? Yes. I'm testing it continuously on my 800MHz/256MB Celeron laptop. If it doesn't work on that, it's no use. At the moment it's just about on the brink of being good enough. I'm still refining the audio performance for both samples and synths, and it's possible I might be able to commit some more stuff today that'll help with slower systems. Chris |
