A possible solution is to use the pvx files generated through the `pvanal' utility. In this way you avoid the gens-01 and skip the pvs analysis in csound. You cannot use `mincer' and `pvstanal' anymore, but fsig1 pvsfread ktimpt, "pvxfile", 0 ;; chan 1 fsig2 pvsfread ktimpt, "pvxfile", 1 ;; chan 2 ;; optionally whatever pvs opcode that uses a fsig (also see pvslock) ... al pvsynth fsigout1 ar pvsynth fsigout2 tito On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 01:39:48AM +0100, Michele Nasti wrote: > I tried these suggestions but the problem is too big. > > Another problem I found is that I have 1 GB of audio function tables loaded > in memory :) > > I'm asking myself how the various Cubase, Logic etc can reproduce 20-30 > stereo files, with live effects and without this cpu effort.
