slowly I'll replace all midi scripts by modules which are 100x faster

I replaced some midi scripts with the midi transformer and my patch became 50% more efficient.
Thanks for the tip!

Wow, no joke!

A simple midi change channel script takes ..33% on my quad-core i7!

16 of those, that's 5% CPU just to change midi channels.

Seems like a set of basic midi tools would be a good use for the SDK. Or nice to have as basic modules....

I'll see if it's cheaper to convert to and from midi using modules.

EDIT: that brings it down by about half. Guess that's the better choice.

Okay, that's good to know. I'll lay off the scripts. And I'll look into the SDK.

But for now, I realized my script doesn't need to work in the audio path anyway, it can just create a control signal for a volume module.

But I may just use modules anyway if the script engine is not cpu friendly. I mostly did it to save CPU!

Because of the cross platform implementation (WIN,OSX,64) we use a new script engine which is less CPU friendly.
That's why the the V5 script-pointers capabilities are not available in Hollyhock.
No solution actually except rewrite a new script engine and it could take years...

But we made a particular effort to simplify the SDK. A user module is a very good option for intensive data manipulations?

PSingle is a pointer type, and to me it seems that pointer types aren't allowed in the new version (so far?). Using ^Single instead of the predefined PSingle type didn't help. GetDataPointer() is also missing.

Here's an attempt at doing the old audio example in a different way:

CODE:

/////////////////////////////////////////////// Audio Volume// Simple Audio Volume Script////////////////////////////////////////////// parameters declarationvar input    : Tparameter;var output   : Tparameter;var gain     : TParameter;// initialisation : create parametersprocedure init;begin   Input := CreateParam('In',ptaudio); output := CreateParam('out',ptaudio); gain := CreateParam('gain',ptDataFader);            SetIsOutPut(Input,false); SetIsOutPut(Gain,false);         SetIsInPut(Output,false); SetMin(gain,0); SetMax(gain,1); Setvalue(gain,1);  SetLength(output,BLOCSIZE);                                      end;// Global variablesvar i            : integer;                   //var pin,pout : PSingle;var g : single;//////////////////////////////// main proc//////////////////////////////procedure Process;begin //pIn := GetdataPointer(0);  //pOut := GetdataPointer(1); g := GetValue(2);  for i := 0 to BLOCSIZE-1 do begin   //pout^:= pin^*g;   //incptr(pin);   //incptr(pout)    SetDataArrayValue(1, i, GetDataArrayValue(0, i)*g);    end;                                                    end;

This works, but uses a lot CPU.

I tried the same in V5, and there both versions of the script worked, and both used negligible CPU.

I have a script based on the simple audio example script from v5. But it requires some values of type PSingle.

V6 does not recognize this type. What do I use instead? There are no audio example scripts that I can see in the new browser....
