Does this work in 5.2.2?

The examples were made using Live 6.07

there are a few things in Live 6 that aren't in Live 5, for example : this technique uses Racks - they aren't available in Live 5

I got an error saying that the pack was already a project... it wouldn't let me open it. what am I doing wrong? or has that been fixed?

Also, what elements could be hogging so much cpu? It looks like it is virtually all MIDI, and not much of it at that...

I'm thinking you chose to install it under the library ?

you should install it somewhere that is not under the root of the library.
complicated reasons. The live Library is a project itself, you shouldn't really save your own projects in there.

the CPU is partly consumed by the huge amounts of Mojo that the sets use, the other part is the instrument racks with stacks of Simplers with reverbs on. They do contribute mightily to the sound though.

Excellent effort Angstrom.

I'm just listening to the first als so far and that is really good stuff.

Much appreciate all the effort that went into this work.

What will it take to make this thread a STICKY?

And /Or what about a Live Generative area?

it should work by downloading the demo version of Live 6.

Truly stunning Angstrom. BRAVO!!!

edit - omfg these are killing me.

I nominate these for the Live 6 performance test!!!
I'm getting 33-62% on a HP Centrino Duo @ 2GHz 1Gb RAM, a pretty good workout.

thanks !

Although, I'm not sure they would be right for a performance test, because they don't make use of the dual CPU capabilities particularly well due to all being on one track.
I know, in hindsight it was not a particularly great idea putting them all on one track. Foolishly I thought CPU would not be too much of a problem, where it is quite a problem for some people.

I think the L6 CPU test might be bettered formed by having a rack with a large sampling of the common devices on (EG: midi devices -> simpler -> Saturator -> phaser -> reverb ) which can run on the lowliest machine, then duplicate that until you reach 80% and post the track count.

well, something like that anyway ... it's would be the best way to test something like the latest quad-CPU quadcore against an older single CPU G4.

anyway - thanks for the comments
