GUI interferes with host refresh rate/keyboard polling (FL Studio)

Open bryc opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

In FL Studio, whenever the GUI is active, the plugin causes the host's oscilloscope to update less frequently, and it also affects the playing of notes via keyboard. When I hide the GUI, the issue doesn't occur. See video:

I've never encountered this before in any plugin. The only thing that fixes it is to explicitly bridge it (as a separate process).

I'm now noticing that this issue can be localized to the keyboard at the bottom of the GUI. If I hide it by dragging it off-screen (below taskbar), the lag disappears.

May be DAW agnostic. I have always had this issue with Renoise. Moving the keyboard offscreen does indeed provide a temporary solution but it's a pretty annoying workflow. Even after a major system upgrade it still brings my DAW to a screeching halt.

To anyone reading this issue with the same problem: switching to the latest from 1.0.2 fixes this.
