[RESOLVED WITH FIRMWARE 1.03] Possible Bug? 1.02 UPDATE

While attempting to complete a basic kitchen sink program for my favorite strat I discovered this.

Adding a Pitch Follower to the 100 Watt 1970 seems to load down the FM3 and freeze it up for about 30 seconds for any command.

At first I thought that I had hit the CPU ceiling at 72%. I removed the Reverb Block and that brought me to the 45% range.

I added a PF to the Drive Block with no issue.

I then removed the PF from the Drive Block and added it back to the Amp's Input EQ Gain control and promptly stalled out again. I tried this with the Editor off as well, same result.
Anyone else able to recreate this?

Updated the Firmware to 1.02. The lag time is down to about 15 seconds now from command to execution. After about 15 minutes the unit stops responding.

the Drive parameter uses a lot of CPU when changed. with something changing as quickly as Pitch, i can see it stalling out.

this just may not be possible or the best choice of modifier for Gain in the Amp block.

I haven't had a chance to connect to the amp's drive yet but I will keep this in mind.

oh it wasn't clear what parameter you originally were talking about. it's Input EQ Gain i see now.

it could potentially have the same high CPU usage, so this may not be a good option at this time. maybe this thread will cause FAS to look at it and optimize.
 
Thanks Chris! I just added a Filter Block in front of the Amp Block and was able to achieve the same type of desired outcome. Just wanted to smooth out and get the amp to sing a bit on the solo notes. I really prefer not having a dedicated solo scene - to be able to solo on almost every sound is preferable.

It is a bit of a concern as it doesn't seem connected to the CPU usage.

Changing parameters requires CPU usage to calculate its effect on every other component. Certain parameters use a lot of CPU calculations and changing them in real time quickly can cause issues.
