Hey everyone,
Sorry I am away from my computer at the moment and am curious as too how many processors max well especially msp can support? Is it a 64 bit piece of software?

Cheers.

Those are two different questions.

Multi-threaded processing can be done with poly when you send it the 'parallel 1' message. I haven't found a limit to the number of cores yet, but then again I haven't tried anything fancy on my 8-core machine yet.

64 bit: no. Why are you asking?

Was just curious to how much dsp you could delve into on a multi core machine like a mac pro until it maxes out each core and how many it can support cheers for the reply.
