Hello, again

Try looking in another terminal and running top with your favourite flags ( I like -d). You may find that these UGENs are sucking a lot of cpu power and that may be the culprit.

This 5 channels take 25-30% of CPU only but I get bad sound when all 5 channels begin play. For example: --- BeeThree a => dac; BeeThree b => dac; BeeThree c => dac; BeeThree d => dac; BeeThree e => dac; 1.0 => a.noteOn; 1.0 => b.noteOn; 1.0 => c.noteOn; 2.0 => d.noteOn; 2.0 => e.noteOn; fun void p(float freq1, float freq2, float freq3, float freq4, float freq5, dur del) { freq1 => a.freq; freq2 => b.freq; freq3 => c.freq; freq4 => d.freq; freq5 => e.freq; del => now; } while (true) { //Here sound is normal p(100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 200.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 300.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 400.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 500.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, 250::ms); //Here I hear some noises p(100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 100.0, 500.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 200.0, 200.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250::ms); p(100.0, 300.0, 300.0, 100.0, 500.0, 100::ms); p(100.0, 400.0, 400.0, 250.0, 250.0, 250::ms); p(100.0, 500.0, 500.0, 100.0, 500.0, 100::ms); } ---

Your two solutions to that problem are less fancy patches or a new computer... Although I have noticed that when I am experiencing dropouts you can writing the patch to disc using rec.ck and the sound file that is created does not have the dropouts. Then you can go back and add the sound using sndbuf.

No, 'rec.ck'/'rec2.ck' don't help me -- registered Linux user #360474 Don't worry, I can read OpenOffice.org
