If you do a search here on "hyperthreading," you will find 10,000 posts about it. Some positive; some negative.

It's a case of YMMV. And YM will probably V from project to project. It's a fuzzy subject.

Known issues with UA, stuff, too.

One hyperthreading example scenario: One instance of FM4 (known hog) driven by a PSQ1684. (Release time set fairly high on FM4's Operator envelopes adding to hoggishness.) Hyperthreading ON: Reason consuming ~58% CPU. (Snap, crackle, pop.) Hyperthreading OFF: Reason consuming ~22% CPU. i7-3770; 8GB ...

Sometimes when I get myself all worked up over this ponderous, and for me, disturbing concept, I think how self-awareness is not all it's cracked up to be if it leads to despair. Then I consider the ant and it helps me feel better. And of course I am assuming the ant lacks self-awareness. Anyway the...

I guess this is one of those topics — like the abortion issue — where two seemingly completely rational individuals can observe the same scenario and come away with completely opposite viewpoints. I certainly don't consider myself to be a god and I, too, am in wonder at the immensity of the Universe...

As ego shattering as it may be, I would not be surprised to see AI create some real music hits! The future is today :) We humans think we are smart. But we are not. We are not even that creative. We are mostly repeating well known patterns over and over again. And these things make you happy? Pleas...

I already learned one thing:

"The pattern seems to start the instant you click the Run button on the Matrix Pattern Sequencer. On the PSQ1684, it does not."

To behave like the Matrix, the Count knob needs to be set to "Dn" (Down).

EDIT: Sorry dvdrtldg, I didn't see your response.

I'll watch Hydlide's vids.

I'm just busting your chops.

Am I the only person in the world who felt humanity die a little when Deep Blue beat Gary Kasparov? And then it die a little more when Watson won at Jeopardy? And then the Go thing ... The hubris of the upper echelon of programmers is really something. I think they really do consider themselves to b...

AI? Definitely devil-worship.

I bought this item a year or so ago, and every now and then, I try to figure it out. Right now, I am frustrated. It has SO many options for variability that for me right now, it is almost impossible to create a sequence that is not complete arrhythmic clutter. 99% of settings seem to lead to arrhyth...

Too much bullshit from soundcloud to care tbh.
Whether or not it shuts down, I will not support it further.

Support it further? When did you start?

Windows off to an early lead ... Woo hoo!!!

EDIT: Oops. Sorry. I guess that constitutes crud.

The way I see it, there are a million VST hosts, all excellent, I suppose. Reason is a lame VST host? Maybe, but so what? Use one of the others. Most people here complaining seem to own multiple hosts. Obviously, I can see the advantage of having ONE host that does EVERYTHING perfectly, but that may...

Then why keep punishing yourself? If the hammer hurts, stop striking it against one's brain case.

I thoroughly recommend the book 'The Chimp Paradox'. It's a life changer.

I once tried managing my mind. I ended up firing myself.

Oh really? Why not?

Just 'cuz!

I will have to find another receptacle for my garbage.

I'm just the opposite. I jump into burning buildings and then wonder later, "why is my flesh peeling off?"

Didn't grab your freebie 10 when it was offered, Ahornberg?

I'm not sure getting the bean counters involved is the way to go ...

I've never noticed manuals downloading with Rack Extensions. A link to a manual is often found at the bottom of each RE page in the shop. If not there, then I guess I would try the Developers' sites.

I found the link to the full installer for 8.

My late mother-in-law had regular auditory hallucinations. It got quite unpleasant for her at times as she'd get stuck with 'Londonderry Air' being played on a chapel organ on a continuous loop for weeks on end day and night. She declined my kind offer of singing 'Danny Boy' along with it on the gr...

Try this next time you feel a lady is spending too much time on a machine: walk up to her and calmly say, "ma'am, I don't know if you were aware of this, but the guy who was on this machine before you wet himself all over it and I don't think anyone actually cleaned it up."
