CPU load
The realism and expressiveness of the SWAM instrument set can be very CPU intensive. It therefore
requires a modern computer with at least a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo CPU for a single instance of any
SWAM product. Additional instances will require both a more powerful processor and a low-latency
audio driver/device (e.g. ASIO), especially to play the instrument in real time.
Less powerful systems may also prove satisfactory, but may require larger buffer sizes, involving
higher latencies.
Note: This may not necessarily result in an actual problem. Using the freeze feature or
bouncing the single MIDI tracks to audio provides a useful remedy.
