A timer or LFO I think are the only choices. Don't send the value from your deferred UI script though, use a different non-deferred script.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey how would you link an lfo to a knob without a timer?

[d.healey]

@hisefilo I'm not sure exactly but I remember someone posted on the forum about it before. I think you need to use the global macros for it.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey thanks mate. Global macro modulators is the answer. But CPU is higher than timers.

@hisefilo try this and see if it's less cpu consuming

@ulrik WOW nice trick! Thanks mate!

Meter on HISE says 0% . Sadly I'm getting same high CPU usage when running as standalone or vst. I guess HISE measures only audio thread and Mac top command shows the complete the CPU usage.

Despite this I figured out making knobs and % of screen that needs to be refreshed/animated makes a huge impact.

Still investigating. Will report later

@hisefilo I use this trick for driving 8 wheels (like 8 arps but triggered by the GridChange function). As you can see in the video, sometimes Logic hicks with cpu peaks but keeps running, and it doesn't seems to be any problem using this, at least not in this test.

@ulrik nice plug-in!!!!!! Love the idea.

Then my question is: what’s a reasonable CPU usage for a commercial-grade plug-in? And how to properly measure it?

Good question, I have always doubted the way things are measured in programs like this, you can load several instances of the same plugin and see where it starts choking?

@ulrik oh yeah thats a really nice plugin - well done.

[ulrik]

@Lindon @hisefilo thank you!
