Topic: Orgtq and Mac M4 to the limit, how much can it handle, Händel Chorus

G. F. Handel - chorus from Judas Maccabaeus

If it say video not available, click on the blue link, then it open to Yt.   Don't know why it says.   ..not available.     ?

TEST: I push my new Mac mini  M4 to the limit, how much can it handle…
M4 can do it! A tiny box with big power!
No problem! Have never been able to play tutti with Organteq 1 and Organteq 2 with my 11 year old Mac mini, the recording stops abruptly, too little power. Can’t handle information….

Here I intentionally just chose the heaviest presets ”A Clockwork Organ” and ”Tweaked” together which require a lot of polyphony.
Both together go up to 400 polyhony each/so 800.some places.! with Tutti. You can see the amount of stops in Clockwork and Tweaked. This M4 chip is fantastic. I’m satisfied.

A tiny box with big power!
This compact device delivers impressive speed and performance, whether you're editing videos,  or multitasking with multiple tabs. It  saves desk space.
Apple M4 chip.
10-core CPU with 4 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores
10-core GPU
Hardware-accelerated ray tracing
16-core Neural Engine
120GB/s memory bandwidth a.s.o.

All the best, everyone

After "Jack In The Box", Organ(s) In The Box. You have just to play lots of organ concertos. Just a bit of humour !

Thank you Borealis! ....l.  Great humour......... lots of organ concertos!
Now you woke me up, what should I start with….Bach. Händel. Saint-Saens….I think it probably would be J. S. Bach - Organ Concerto in A Minor BWV 593 after Vivaldi RV 522.

It's a cover of Vivaldi's double violin concerto RV522. I like the sound of Organteq 2 and what a marvellous piece of music it would be to demonstrate it with!
If I find the piece in our library.
Thanks Borealis!

Best wishes,

Stig
