@lalalandsynth @d-healey @hisefilo Hey buddies
I got a user having an issue today, here's what he wrote:

"i haven an error in a white popup withe audiodriver installation error"

In the waiting for more information... Does it sound familiar to somebody?

[d.healey]

@ustk Tell him to install ASIO4ALL

[ustk]

@d-healey I'll do... I remember reading about that in the forum, but is it a general case on windows for all plugins or specific to Hise?
Because if one's audio system works already with other plugins, it's not logical one has to change the setup because of a Hise issued product…

[d.healey]

@ustk It's to do with the order that the drivers appear in the list, I think... @Christoph-Hart

[hisefilo]

@ustk I can remember some complain about this from my users. Couldn't find a solution yet

[hisefilo]

@lalalandsynth yes! I guess filmstrip thing will do the trick

Best B3 Organ VST Shootout

Free Organ VST Made For Isolation | Free Plugin Friday | Sampleson Collab3 B3 Organ Plugin

you can see in the comments that some people find it noisy.

Another review, comments also say its noisy , scratchy and a cpu hog , which is surprising.

[d.healey]

@lalalandsynth I'm not surprised about the CPU :)

[lalalandsynth]

It does not take much Cpu on my computer ?
2% but maybe that is a lot , hehe :)

[d.healey]

@lalalandsynth It uses 2.5% - 3.5% for me. By comparison if I load a sampled organ it uses 0.10%. So I'd say CollaB3 is a CPU hog, and it must be a lot worse on older hardware and laptops.

[lalalandsynth]

Yep, I guess we cant do much about that , but we should maybe think about fixing the noise ?

Or not, maybe that is just the way it is :)

[Christoph Hart]

I assume the CPU hog is the leslie (because it doesn‘t change with the voices).

Have you tried compiling the leslie into a C++ node?

[ustk]

@Christoph-Hart Does it change something once compiled?
I'll try that once I can get the Last commit to open my projects...

[lalalandsynth]

@ustk In case we do an update.

Fixes.

1. Cpu hogging - probably Leslie.

2. Lower noise - possibly accessible to user in settings ?

3. Drawbars are inverted when midi learned.

4. Examine speed difference between top and low horn - Leslie.

Possible additions.

1 . Distortion - Growl

2. Leslie Cab Impulse

3 Pro version - Another page with stomp boxes or fx / Delay , eq , phaser etc

Hi guys!!! Nice finding! The video guy is really happy with Collab3.
Im not shure if they say noise regarding Leakage or some other noises like key click (or DC offset caused by the oscillators with zero or 1 for attack (easy to change but I personally like it)

[lalalandsynth]

@hisefilo I saw someone say they stopped using after trying Waves denoise.
Seen a few of these comments so maybe have something in settings to change it ?

I could do a test , compress it and see where the noise is coming from.

[hisefilo]

@lalalandsynth noise sources un collab are dc offsets from oscillators with zero attack, noise generator for keyclicks and leackage container. do a gentle 20 ms attack and kill leakage and noise gen if you want a clean sound

[lalalandsynth]

Question:

Why is the Leslie such a cpu hog , its not a very involved fx in itself ?
Should I expect CPU problems when building fx with scriptnode ?
