Comment... Question: How I trigger SWELLAppMain in Linux? note: for experimental use I use static libswell. osx everything great... ;) Asked by Gio (79.130.167.x) on July 16 2018, 9:58am Reply on July 17 2018, 2:01am: Trigger? If you call SWELL_RunMessageLoop() it should call SWELLAppMain() in response to events that get processed. It should be called SWELLAppRespondToEvent() or something, but whatever. Comment...

Should I only consider CPU performance (ie : cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to run live amp sims+a few synths+samples smoothly? What about single/multi-core performance? Btw, I have a good interface (RME). Thanks for you input! Asked by james (198.91.196.x) on July 11 2018, 2:56am Reply on July 11 2018, 12:43pm: There are trade-offs between single and multiple core, something with a high single core performance and 4 cores these days would probably be ideal for synths/amp sims/etc. Motherboard and video card also matter if you're worried about keeping DPC latencies low... But I don't have any specific advice there. Comment... Question: Why doesn't plugin developers make their plugins run on GPU instead of CPU? Asked by MS from Sweden (77.218.250.x) on July 10 2018, 12:02pm Reply on July 10 2018, 12:51pm: That's a difficult thing, I think. Comment...

I really like the jam from July 3, 2018!!! Asked by Albi (177.245.59.x) on July 6 2018, 7:28pm Reply on July 7 2018, 3:42am: Thanks! We've played twice before and we have another show next Friday.
