This must have come from my keyboard purchase(s) as I've never bought any Arturia software. I'm assuming/hoping it will come soon? I just logged into my Arturia account and I see I can crossgrade to Pigments for 69 USD. That will make it possible to test, and get an better idea about the CPU usage.Note : Arturia is not yet supported on m1. Please name one or two unedited factory presets, where you have the issue. Are you sure the issue is'nt about the soundcard or the driver? Where do you read the CPU usage? Is the 70% the usage for one CPU core or for the whole CPU?ĭoes Pigments freeze when you only use one instance, or only when you use multiple instances?ĭo you use Focusrites own driver for your soundcard? You should. Have you shut down all unused apps that can run in the background? They don't have to run all the time, to be used at a later point. Have you set your PC to High performance mode in the power settings? You should.

And mobile proccessors often are'nt the most powerful. Is your PC a laptop? Is the fan running much? Heat can lower the CPU performance.

In example the base clock frequency is very important. The model name make it possible to get all the CPUs specs, and that's very important.

What's your CPUs excact full model name? There are great differences between i5 7gen CPUs. But perhaps it will, if you provide more detailed informations.Īre you saying, that you did'nt have this issue with earlier Pigments versions?ĭid a Windows update introduce the issue? The informations you provide does'nt indicate, that you should have any issues. You provide some good informations, but more precise informations is needed. So a few years old CPU in it self is'nt the problem. I can run Arturias applications with CPU's that's more than 8 years old on Windows 10. You shall have very much loaded and stored, if what you have is'nt enough. You can check that in the performance section in Windows task manager. If you are'nt using more RAM and/ or SSD storage that you have, then that's not an issue. If you need 32 GB RAM is mostly about how much you load, and the size of a SSD is mostly about how much storage you need. The CPU you need very much depend on how much you wan't to do and in what quality at a time. You can read the minimum requirements to run Arturias applications on the product sites.
