Hi!
In the new features list I read:
" ± Option to disable visual effects, for slower PC’s. "
… where is this option?
Is this about the config-> graphics…?
Also: the CPU consumption indicator in Renoise and the Task Manager (or SpeedSwitchXP) report very different CPU load numbers. Usually in Renoise the declared CPU load is 30% lower.
Thanks!
1] Gonfig => GUI => Global => Enable ‘GUI effects’
2] the CPU load indicator does not take in account the graphic and VST plugins load
what you mean doesnt take into account vst load?? 
Ok. I tried to disable/enable that, but didn’t notice any difference.
Edit: …if I understood the manual right, the difference is only noticed during some gui transitions…
sure it doesn’t incorporate the VST-plugins load, IT-Alien?
when i enable/disable any VST plugin, i get an instant increase/decrease on renoise’s CPU meter, so i’m pretty sure they actually are taken into account.
however renoise’s GUI and those of VST-plugins and -instruments are not included in the calculation.
you will notice that a minimized renoise will take much less resources than a maximized one, when playing a song.
keith: yes, you’re right; of course I meant the GUI of VST’s, sorry; what I wanted to say is that the CPU meter calculates the audio CPU load
indeed, you can see the load of each VST in the instruments properties
