Re: [fluid-dev] Crackling sound when more than 4 notes are played simultaneously

[Herschel Karunaratne]

Hi Marcus,

I using this to generate pipe organ tones so my swell has 13 stops. I need to play several or all voices simultaneously and that's why I am generating all 13 tones when a single key is pressed and control the stop ON/OFF by adjusting the volume using cc 0 7 xx command.

Is this the correct way or any other way to do this with less CPU usage?

Regards

Herschel

Well, assuming you really mean 4800 and not 48000, I guess that is to
be expected. With lower sample rate the CPU has much less work to do.
And minimum latency can be calculated using your period count and
size. So when using 1024 period size, 8 periods and 4800 Hz sample
rate, you get (1024 / 4800) * 8 = 1,707 seconds.

I don't really understand your question. Could you elaborate or rephrase it?
