Extreme high CPU usage Moog Mariana

[frankie000]

I like Moog Mariana a lot, I like the sound, I like the user interface and also the extensive midi control.

BUT: the CPU usage in my DAW (Ableton Live 12 in Windows 11) is extremely high. Compared to other VST plugins: I never ever get above 10% combining a lot of VST3 plugins. Mariana will play fine without any other plugins but when combining it, it's almost unusable. CPU usage gets above 35% with spikes up to 70% leading to crackling of the sound.

I read a lot of complaints on the internet of this issue. Is this something I can fix with a setting or some 'hidden' performance tuning?

Are there any plans to improve this? In this state I can not use it in my projects which is a pitty...

same here... wonderful sound, interface ... but I was suprised where the high cpu usage is coming from whe using it, found out its Moog Mariana (v1.2.0 and untouched preset)... and got to this this post - is there a fix or some 'hidden' performance tuning ?

I’m having the same issue with the iOS app. I downloaded it when it first came out and really liked it, but since it was updated to version 1.2 it’s been extremely choppy sounding. I tried all of the fixes recommended for this version, but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions?

Oh man, I hope they change this.
Hitting 35% and the buffer rate does not really make a difference.
