Subject: [exs] Polyphony and CPU


Hello!

Can anyone answer this:
Apparently multiple instance of the EXS don't use any more CPU than
one....correct?

> If there is no FILTER ON....

Am I correct in assuming that the polyphony of the instances DOES affect CPU
usage?

> When nothing play, correct....

And is it dynamic? In other word, 16 instances with maximum polyphony won't
increase CPU load, but as the number of notes/voices being used increases so
does the CPU load.....?

> Yes the Polyphony is dynamic, u can open 24 EXS with full Poly if nothing
is played and if there is no Filters enable

Is there any benefit to limiting polyphony in the instances of the EXS?

FREEZZE everytime ! but if u limit the Poly on each EXS it's >better...
