GUI drum tab makes DAW display jumpy

[panelist]

When the GUI is open to the “drums” tab, it slows down the graphics of the entire screen – meters start getting really jumpy, the playback indicator gets jumpy, and the graphics of the drums themselves are jumpy. Switching to other tabs reduces the problem, but it’s also slightly noticeable on the “mixer” tab. Is this a known problem?

Hi,

are you using the AU or VST?
So far I can not reproduce on similar conditions.

It seems to happen with either. When I have the Activity Monitor open, it shows a spike from 25% with the GUI closed to ~107% with the GUI open to the drums tab

Just bringing this up again with a supporting video to demonstrate the issue

OK, did you try to switch the Colour Profile in Display settings to sRGB IEC61966-2.1?

I did not – should my monitor calibration affect the performance of this plugin?

I tried changing the monitor color calibration profile but saw no improvement in the behavior.

Is there a fix for this on the roadmap?

It seems silly that this is the only plugin that requires me to change the color profile of my computer in order to function correctly.

Is there any update on this?

I agree with Aaron – it’s not very reassuring that adjusting my monitor settings should in any way have an effect on using this plugin.
