Optimizing Cpu Usage - LinPlug Albino 3 Manual

Optimizing CPU Usage

Software synthesizers are highly CPU-intensive. The real-time calculation
of audio waveforms, filters, effects and modulators places a significant load
on the host computer's CPU.
As such, the main limiting factor in software synthesizer performance is
CPU processing power. Each additional oscillator, filter, effect and
modulator that is included in an instrument adds to the CPU load. As a
result, it's best to switch off any unused units within the Albino 3 to
conserve CPU resources.
It may also be useful to use the send effects of your host's mixer instead of
the Albino 3's effects as they are shared among all instruments.
