Photron eats CPU about sha-bang-modules HOT 8 CLOSED

Ok, I was able to replicate it on my machine, too. Very strange...thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it.

Ok I was able to fix the problem, but I'm going to leave this open for a little bit while I try some things. It's ready for an update so keep an eye out when they do the next build.

Yeah, I also noticed Vult's Trummor2 module uses about 4% so I was hoping that Photron being a heavy visual animation module would be ok at 5%.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoy them!

Ok this is weird. I've tried a few things...when I override the onSampleRateChange method and you change the sample rate in Rack, it actually reduces CPU usage back down to normal. Of course this isn't ideal because you have to do it everytime.

I made a post on the community forum since this is a real head-scratcher for me.

The new one 1.1.1 is about 50 x as hungry as 1.1.0 but it stays that way when reloading.

Thanks, Peter.

Yeah, I know it's around 5%. That seems to make more sense because it has to process every block (adjacent and corners) about 60 times a second. I'm not sure why the v1.1.0 started out at ~0.1%, but with this amount of processing/drawing to the screen should be fairly normal. Will it work for you in your patches?

from sha-bang-modules.

Honestly, I'm not using it yet in my patches, but 5% is about what valley reverb uses, and I'm mostly using 1 of them not bunches.
We'll see what the future brings.
Thanks for ALL your modules, not only Photon.
Greetings Peter.

Ok in the next version there will be a right-click menu that gives you the option to change the processing rate from 60Hz (default) to lower ones like 30Hz. Could also be a cool effect if you wanted the animation to evolve slower.
