Pulsar Synth DSP Usage Chart
The following tests were performed with Pulsar v1.1.
For details on these results, see the Performance Overview DSP section.
The "max" value in the load column indicates the maximum polyphony I was able to reach on my single Pulsar (4 DSPs), running a simple project containing only the big mixer and the synth, with midi and audio connections only.
This chart corresponds to Pulsar version 1.1. For the version 1.0.x chart, see here.
