I would like to get some benchmarks of different systems.
Ive attached a patch and a midi file.
The Patch is designed to have a high CPU Load. its using 270 Voices with both filters on the Vintage which use the most CPU.
Use these together and report your CPU as follows:

I want to load the preset for the benchmark but can’t seem to find how to load a preset:crazy:
On PC the presets are located in C Drive/Program Data/Sonic Academy/Presets/Factory
You will need to enable “view hidden files” to see the Program Data Folder
just drop the preset in to one of the category folders

here is a pic of a 238% strike.
:w00t::w00t::w00t:
Something has to be going sideways with your computer, phoenixoftheflames. Maybe your soundcard can’t handle things?
My computer literally cannot handle more than 3 ANAs at once. Would getting a ssd improve things? Or is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
