Using the OASYS PCI
Closing any unnecessary windows will reduce the CPU processing load.
Turn off File Sharing (MacOS)
File Sharing can greatly increase the time that it takes to load Multis, or to add
Effects and Programs to a Multi. It also reduces the amount of CPU processing
power available to both the OASYS PCI and digital audio programs. For best
results, we recommend that you make sure that it is turned off. To do this:
1.
Turn off AppleTalk (MacOS)
AppleTalk adds to the CPU processing load. For best results, we recommend that
you turn it off. Most digital audio and MIDI programs recommend this, as well. To
turn off AppleTalk:
1.
Delete unnecessary Modulation Palette routings
Each Modulation Palette routing uses a small amount of CPU processing power. If
you aren't using a particular routing, you can delete it to reduce the CPU
processing load. For more information, see "Deleting a modulation routing," on
page 31.
Delay effects, Samples, and resource usage
The OASYS PCI system has two types of delay effects: "short" and "long." Short
delays use a different type of memory than long delays, and each type of memory
has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Long delays use a special area of memory, which is shared with Samples but not
with other Effects. Long delays take more DSP processing power than short delays.
Short delays use the same memory as other effects (and can use it up very quickly),
but they use less DSP processing power than long delays.
Because of this:
Use long delays in the general case, and to maximize the amount of memory
available to other effects (such as choruses, flangers, and so on).
Use short delays if you need to maximize DSP processing power and don't need
many other delay-based effects, such as choruses, flangers, etc.
For more details, read on below.
OASYS PCI
Open the File Sharing control panel, which will show whether File Sharing
is turned on or off. If it is turned on, press the Stop button to turn it off.
or
In the Control Strip, open the menu for the File Sharing module, and select
"Turn File Sharing Off."
In the Chooser, set AppleTalk to Inactive.
or
In the Control Strip, open the menu for the AppleTalk module, and set it to
Inactive.
