Optimising a MIDI chording patch

[rounser]

I had energyXT running a press-one-midi-key-and-get-a-chord thing, so that my keyboard would produce chords appropriate for the minor scale without me having to think about fingering. Unfortunately energyXT would lose note-offs, and introduced a lot of latency, and would hog my ASIO driver.

So I tried it with Modular II. Over a hundred MIDI transpose and MIDI merger modules later, I've got no latency and no lost note-offs. Beautiful.

The downside is that it's eating up about 3 DSPs entirely. Is there any way to optimise this so it uses less resources? Transposing MIDI isn't exactly rocket science computationally, I'd assume, but maybe it's because it's doing it all so quickly. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Have you seen alfonso's MIDI Chorder or Riff and Arpeggio MIDI note generators?

No I haven't; thanks for the links though, will check them out.

(I think mine is doing exactly what I want music-theory wise, but these look like they might come in handy too.)
