I don't usually take the trouble to adjust the voicing of sample sets, but there were a few pedal notes that were bothering me today as being so loud that they sounded as though they were overdriving my subwoofer. I identified the specific stops and notes and went into the voicing screen to tone them down a bit in order to match the rest of the rank.
I found that playing these notes while trying to adjust the voicing resulted in almost continuous audio glitching, with the CPU indicator going all the way up. The glitching lessened when I reduced the amplitude of those particular notes, and was much less evident with the other notes. Curiously it didn't happen at all unless the mouse pointer was within the voicing window.
I found the same thing with several sample sets that I looked at today, including Rotterdam Main and Velosovo. It was generally the same notes that were worst affected (bottom C# and D with 16' and 32' flues) which made me think initially that these particularly notes were resonating in my room, but I can't see how that could feed back to the computer to cause glitching.
I don't have this problem when playing (well... there is some slight glitching that I haven't been able to run down yet) but it is so bad as to make voicing more difficult as I can't listen to the note while I am moving the slider.
I don't know whether this is some peculiarity of my set-up or whether this is something that other people have found, but I thought I should draw attention to it in case it is something that Martin needs to deal with before HW7 is ready for release.
I am using HW6 running on a 10-core i9 processor in a Dell workstation that is about nine months old. My audio interface is a MOTU micro lite iv and I have 12 Behringer active speakers arranged as 6 stereo channels, as well an SVS powered subwoofer which receives a mix-down through the headphone output of the interface.
