.Performance Indicator flashes red, because raise CPU speed did not realy work with Podium 3.2.4 for Speedstep CPUs.
during playing with TyrellN6 v3 on my masterkeyboard, i have detected, most times the Podium Performance Indicator flashes red.
i have checked this issue with Studio One, but this is only a performance problem with podium.
My System:
CPU: Intel I7 4770 with 3.4 GHz, 4 cores and 8 threads
RAM: 8 GB
Windows 8.1 64 bit
ASIO4ALL v2.11
Podium (x64) 3.2.4 – plugin multiprocessing is enabled
Studio One (x64) 2.6.3 – audio device multiprocessing is enabled
Podium:
create a new project with 1 intrument track – TyrellN6 v3 (x64) PV Influx Pad
Taskmanager: CPU speed is 0,75 GHz
playing more than 10 notes at the same time on the keyboard and performance Indicator flashes red
Taskmanager: CPU speed goes up to max. 2,58 GHz
Studio One:
create a new project with 1 intrument track – TyrellN6 v3 (x64) PV Influx Pad
Taskmanager: CPU speed is 0,75 GHz in Taskmanager
playing more than 10 notes at the same time on the keyboard and performance Indicator is max. 50%
Taskmanager: CPU speed goes up to max. 3,54 GHz (turbo mode)
it seems it has to do with ASIO buffersize:
i have the best performance with ASIO buffersize = 256, but only if plugin multiprocessing is disabled – performance indicator is always below 50% and cpu speed up to 3,44 GHz.
but if plugin multiprocessing is enabled with ASIO buffersize = 256 – performance indicator is always over 50% and goes flashing red and cpu speed up only to 1,2 GHz.
perhaps the total buffersize is to large for all cores?
