Hi finally getting going with my MM and built a fairly small patch uploaded below ( sorry if I did this incorrectly ) anyway it’s low cpu ( under 15% ) on my m1 macbook pro - highest user is the 4ms ensemble osc at over 5% but upon playing in the MM I get an immediate “Audio Stopped -99%” warning. This seems extreme considering some of the patches I’ve seen on this site so wondering if there’s something else going on.
nebs3.yml (11.0 KB)
It looks like the culprits are the two 4ms plugins…especially the delay. Try changing over from 48K to 32K and see if it runs.
Hi, thanks for the tip, reducing to 32k helped a bit and I removed the “clouds” module just to be safe and I can get it to run but after a few min / some knob tweaking and running modulation in or out it spikes again. I would get it if this was some heavy load patch but it’s fairly simple outside of the 6 envelopes. Thinking I might revert to the stable official release and test it out there.
Maybe @danngreen can offer some insight as to what may be going on…
I don’t want to bother you guys, you / 4ms has got to have a lot on their hands getting everything ready for v2. I bet whatever is happening will sort itself out when that’s released so happy to just wait and see.
Aside from issues with that patch I am loving the idea of building out these focused patches, it’s like having custom purpose built modules and I can’t wait to dive deeper into it. Previously I was just using it to supplement modules I didn’t have in my rack as I acquired more hardware ( which it is still a very good use case for the MM ) so this new way of working in VCV / Meta for me is really exciting. Thanks again for all your hard work ( not sure if you work for 4ms but I see your posts often )
clouds is a bit of a cpu hog, especially in spectral mode. but the fact that we can run that as well as other things in 26hp, is still quite awesome
Well, if I make an empty patch with just the Pressed Duck, and connect the 8 inputs and 2 outputs that are connected on that module in the nebs3 patch, then I get 55% load at 48kHz. Meaning, I map those jacks to panel jacks, and then physically plug in cables on the MetaModule to those 8 inputs and 2 outputs. An empty base patch is about 6-10%, so we’ll say the PD uses 49%.
The EnOsc is a pretty heavy hitter, too, though more like 30%.
Keep in mind these number are out of a total of 200% since there are two cores.
Thanks for the test! I appreciate all the effort you guys are putting into the MM.
