Try this:

- right click anywhere on the interface,
- choose 'Latency (blocks)' from menu,
- try different values (0, 1, 2, 4 or 8).

You need bigger ones but try all of them, who knows...

 

please please please get a new intel core 14th gen cpu or new intel ultra chipset cpu with modern motherboard. i had so many issues not only with music software but with games not even starting on my ancient computer before i upgraded. newer plugins such as massive x requires special avx support instructions and some software work poorly on older processors.

 

This is the configuration of my iMac (a friend wasn't using it anymore and gave it to me as a gift).

macOS Monterey 12.7.4
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2015)
Processor 1,6 GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core
Memory 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Graphic Card Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB

Dear Kate,
I had such high hopes for Santa Claus this year for a computer (even an old and used one would do) but I wasn't lucky.
You who live in the lap of luxury at Windsor Great Park, could you perhaps grant my wish?

With love... [kiss]

I want to thank everyone for the latency advice ans tips, you've been incredibly kind (as always) and full of suggestions.

Yes, I did get a very small, tiny improvement but, even opening just one track and only one plugin!!! , the TUS plugins remain unusable due to the audio resources they require and because of the old computer I own. I might try Arturia eventually.

don’t bother. Latest Arturia plugins are worlds worst resource hogs. It’ll be one continuous crackle on your machine. They must test them on an absolute top of the range machine.

 

Core i5-2467M? That’s a VERY VERY VERY weak processor even for regular plugins, forget about emulators — at best, it’s on the level of a 2008 (!!!) Core2 Quad Q6600, no chance…

 

Just a little correction that the roms for all TUS .vst(s) are stored in:
C : \ Users \ YourUserName \ Documents \ The Usual Suspects \ JE8086 [or any TUS vst] \ roms (on Windows)
They've not been stored next to the .vst3 plugin for quite a while now

Thank you @samsum for the tip and the detailed description.

 

Dude, he has
CPU 1,6 GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core
RAM 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Graphic Card Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB

His vs. Yours is like Cat vs. 5 Tigers lol

He has to stand on his head to run 1 instance of DSP56300 emulation and nothing else with buffer set to 8192 samples and his CPU load will be 96%.
Meanwhile you can run 5 instances of DSP56300 emulations and bunch of other plugins with buffer set to 64 samples and for your CPU it will be like a gentle fart.

 

Performance Test Download Links

If you are curious about how well your system will perform while running the emulator, please download and run the test program from one of the following links below to see if your CPU is capable of handling it.

Trying it now and I like it but a couple things I haven't figured out maybe you guys can help me with

Every time I open the plugin on a track it defaults to "chariots" like 16th note bass sound and even when go to browser to change preset that "chariot" is still playing on layer 2 even if I click patch or performance it doesn't stop it I clicked around on other stuff but cant find how to turn it off or make the presets totally change when click a new preset?

Another thing I cant find is how to save a preset, like if I start from init patch and make my own or if I start with a preset and change it and want to save to users folder?

Also cant find how to mark or save presets as "favorite"?

Thanks for any help!

 

so, in order to use this we must have the original hardware? or can we just download the ROM and use with any midi controller?

 

Legally you must own the hardware and extract the ROM yourself.

 

Ahh ok well noted, anyway I just tried the rom from

Code:

https://dbwbp.com/index.php/9-misc/37-synth-eprom-dumps

I got it work, interesting sounds btw.

 

but we all do that...

In the arpergiator section is a HOLD and ON button..this will deactivated the continuous sound being played

 

If you can afford to spend €90 and have the patience to switch operating systems, then a used/refurb office machine with a Ryzen V1756B will ~2.5x - 3x your single core performance, ~5.5x - 6x your multi core performance and run all modern software (AVX2) - RAM and storage included (make sure both can be expanded).

 

I thought at first it was a bug .. then I realized need to turned off

just a simple question .. hope .. there is a config file at .. C:\Users\..\Documents\The Usual Suspects\JE8086\config .. is there a way - to change here output gain from default 0db to default +6db ?? .. thanks in advance
