I had several patches I had to switch effects over to a secondary processor in 7.0. In 7.01 that is not necessary for me. Actually with usb connected I was able to load Matt's Lunar Rainbow Fugue patch (comp, synth, 2 intel pitch, 2 amp, 1 cab, chorus, phaser, filter, delay, 3 vol , and GEQ) plus add another Reverb block. The CPU was at 88% after that.

7.01
New IMART (Intelligent Maximum-Likelihood Adaptive Real-Time) pitch detectors provide greatly improved pitch detection. Pitch detectors can now track complex chords. The Pitch Source parameter in the Pitch blocks has been changed to simply "Global" or "Local". In either mode the tracking performance is the same, only the source of the pitch data is changed. The Pitch blocks benefit significantly from this improvement. Many presets that previously only worked with single notes now work with chords, even complex chords. Note, however, that intelligent pitch shifting is necessarily only single notes, by definition.
Great to hear. Last night I was messing with a patch that was 2 amps, 2 cabs, 2 drives, 2 delays and reverb. Never got DSP message but was getting snaps and pops while connected to USB. I would have to disconnect USB to really test the patch. Of course at 2am I would instinctively grab mouse to change stuff and wonder why no difference!
Curious as to what other proc you are using. I have an ultra laying around but may sell it.
Cliff (or anyone else):
What then is the best pitch effect, then, if I wanted to tune down my guitar virtually?
I've only been able to use CL Whammy for this (100% mix), and the result is ok, but not ideal.
If there's another way (i.e. fixed harmony), can you briefly explain how to get only the wet signal?
Also, what changes when you change the pitch source?
Set mix to 100$
What about an option to turn on or off the 8 ball , I really hate it but respect those who love it.
I have added it back. If you don't like the ball I recommend ignoring it.
I do not see a problem with having the 8-ball, as long as the tuner is correct.. Like they say: DON`T LOOK AT IT!!
I`m looking forward to the new stuff. As always
Thanks to all the 8ball complainers for getting a great feature removed. I was finally able to setup my guitars without having to go grab a separate strobe tuner.
It's been added back in.
