Instruments • Re: Korg multi/poly native - reimagined Mono/Poly Synthesizer plugin

It's 2025 anyone using a CPU from 2008 should absolutely expect performance issues, not sure how anyone would expect Korg or anyone else to spend any resources at all trying to fix performance issues on ancient PCs

Then allow me to assist. It’s called the minimum system requirements. Almost every plugin states these on their respective websites. In the case of OpSix the requirements are listed as an i5 or i7 CPU on Windows 10. If a company is only prepared to support CPU’s, from specific generations, those limitations should be clearly stated in their list of supported system requirements.

Your comment is unhelpful. Both because there is a long existing solution to your “post”, and because it distracts from the fact that the idle spiking behaviour, being discussed, appears to be present from Gen 1 through at least 8th gen Intel. Intel 8th Gen is a hardware config likely to remain supported, by Microsoft Windows, until at least 2030.

Personally I'm not impacted by the issue btw. But companies should fix the problems for configurations they claim to support.

And yet the plugins run on them, it's just that ancient PCs might have performance issues

So again if you meet the MINIMUM requirements the plugin will run but again there is no guarantee being made at all that you will not have performance issues. Logic would dictate minimum requirements will give you minimal performance

So your comment is really pointless and unhelpful

As long as the CPU meets the minimum standards it will run in that CPU

But again anyone using a PC from 2008 should go into it expecting to have poor performance and not have optimal results with modern software

When that chip came out Windows was still on Vista and Apple was using Mac OS X Leopard (version 10.5)

The fact you can even still run modern Korg software on such ancient computer hardware is a testament to the programming skills of Korg's engineers and programmers and of the backwards compatibility built into Windows 11

Since that came out we have gone from Vista, to 7, to 8, to 10, and now 11

Not sure how anyone can expect or even want Korg to spend any effort or money optimizing the performance of plugins sold in 2024 and 2025 for 2008 era CPUs built to run Windows Vista

I would much rather then focus on performance and optimization for more modern systems, and working on big fixes
