Pulsar Synth DSP Usage Chart

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 software version 1.0.x. For the version 1.1 chart, see here.
