FM3 -> what's the least CPU Hungry Reverb Type (?)

[ben ifin]

Hi all !

Can someone advise which of the Reverb Types is the least CPU Hungry (?)

I'm currently using in my last block the "Medium Chamber" in "Economy" mode and it takes my Presets from ~ %64 to ~ %84 for just that one Reverb Block.

Im not a "shoe-gazer-ethereal-noodler" .... just looking for a low CPU reverb that's "not noticeably there, but you notice when its not there".

Thanks,
Ben

Spring.

There is a spreadsheet somewhere of every effect and its CPUsage floating around...

I think diffusion being turned up effects CPU (may be on delay only but I thougt RVB had it too).

Small Spring at 15.5%. That amount may have changed one way or the other since measuring, but is still close.

Here's a link to the last time I posted this chart (this is not my work):

You can use a lot of reverb types and trim it to Lo CPU, for example take Medium Chamber. Set Quality to "Economy" and Echo Density to"4". Needs about 13% in my Preset!

Here is some newer info. I can check later on my home computer what specific reverbs look like now. From when I tested the reverb CPU use in 5.0B1 I found that the average economy reverb only consumed 16% CPU. This may have changed with the new firmware versions.

Also - consider using the Plex Delay block rather than a reverb. The Plex Verb is a subtle, plate-like reverb that works well for adding ambience to a preset. I find it is the most versatile and useful effect block in the Fractal universe as it does a great variety of delays, verbs, and combinations thereof.

Multi-Delay - Mono Diffuser, shorten the Master Time as desired, and it sounds good plus it's the easiest on resources.
