I'm on a 16-core Mac Pro 7,1 w/96 gb ram + a UA Apollo Thunderbolt.
I wanted to try out the Pharlight Kontakt instrument (in Kontakt 7) but it's basically unusable. Even at 256 and 512 sample latency, it overloads the CPU with a single 5-note chord voicing, nothing else in the (48khz) session..
I've tried PT + AAX, Logic + AU, Maschine + VST3. Same performance throughout. Tried various Kontakt and DAW settings.
A single note shows the plugin as using 60-70 voices, which may relate to the issue, but has anyone been able to use this thing at all?
