I recenly opened a cubase project and just had one z3ta open and started playing some chords with my midi keyboard. Something my pc has never had trouble with.
I noticed some digital drop out and looked at the cpu meter which when i play a big chord 4 keys or more is running at 100%
I have a
AMD Dual core 64 2.4ghz
4 gig DDR2 ram
Emu o4o4 PCI soundcard
And almost a terrabyte of free space
To my knowledge my pc is configured well it has always served me well in the past
Processing a highly structured and complex pattern of sensory input as a unified percept of "music" is probably one of the most elaborate features of the human brain.....understanding how music is perceived and how it may elicit intense sensations is far from being understood.

It's not the synth that eats up CPU (or not), it's what you're doing in it. You probably have a patch with a bunch of effects stacked up.

Or a software malfunction.
Such as the Chords of Life preset. used to take like maybe 5% of cpu at the average quality and randomly started eating 20%+ on the lowest quality setting.
tis why i dont use Zeta anymore.

Never had these problems before with z3ta.
What was the render quality?
Was the resonance above the blue line?
Actually, z3ta has slowed my pc down once, but that is because I put the wave shaper for all 6 oscilators on an automated x/y pad. [it caused z3ta to use 92% of my cpu..don't try it at home kids.]
it was on the ob-8 preset i think. But i used to have projects with several z3tas all automated and big patches but my cpu could cope. This is so strange i cant figure it out.
