That is so cool, I will surely use it! Peaks at 45% on my 300MHz g3 ibook (ubuntu,) so 1-2% on a 21st century machine sounds reasonable.

i just followed the basics from dan stowell's page, and built a reasonable
sounding hihat in pd.

it has 100 resonating bandpass filters connected, and so for some reason
needs a couple of 'hits' until all those filters let it work properly.  also
needs a couple of hits to get things working right when changing between
presets.

pd's cpu meter tells me it's only using 1-2% here, but i am having trouble
believing that.  anyway, runs ok here.
