Does Syntronic 2 roast my CPU? (short answer: no!)

[meingottwalter]

I tried the following:

Create four Syntronik 2 Memory-V Presets with each:
- four different waveforms
- both sub oscillators on
- five effects
Create a multi that uses all four presets over the entire keyboard.

Even though I had randomly picked the sounds and did not bother tweaking effects, the product sounds fat, rich and really nice. But what happened to my CPU?

As long as I played 4-part chords, pretty much nothing.

Then I pushed my sustain pedal and hit one key after another on the keyboard. After the 15th key (all white keys over 2 octaves), audio started to crackle. CPU usage was ca. 25% then, 15% of which were used by Syntronik, according to Windows Task Manager.

Loading the multi into Syntronik took 5 secs.

My PC is no rocket technology by today's standards:

i7-7700T CPU
16 GB DDR4-3000 main memory
SATA2 SSD
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Steinberg UR44C USB Audio interface

Curious here: load a preset and open the Edit page. What CPU load do you see?

Nothing spectacular. I goes way up while loading the preset, which is OK. When I click Edit, I can't really see anything in the Task Manager (i.e., it stays slightly below 10%).
