CPU Usage Limits in NI’s Reaktor

Native Instruments’ Reaktor can automatically reduce the number of voices in polyphonic instruments when the total CPU load of an ensemble reaches a certain limit. In this way, the polyphony may be adjusted by the user according to the available processing power. The upper CPU limit is set by accessing Maximum CPU Usage, where a number of 80 means 80% and so forth. However, be aware that Reaktor changes the number of voices only for instruments in which Automatic Voice Reduction has been selected (it’s found in the Properties Dialog in the Functions page). To disable the feature, simply set Maximum CPU Usage to 100.
