I'm curious about realtime performance of Csound on Mac.
Whith my Pentium II 400 I can get over 200 oscili + envelopes running at the same time in
stereo, sr=44100 and kr=441, under Win95, with a very very low latency (allowing to play
Csound via MIDI as it would be a piano).
Do some Mac user have a performance report of the latest G3 in realtime?
Happy Csounding!
