      Hello,

      For best results when working with particles you can adjust 'frame rate' and 'service task' properties in the Isadora settings (menu: Isadora/Settings).

      Set preferences that will be best for the capacity of your computer. For example: Target Frame Rate - 30 FPS and General Service Tasks - 5x Per Frame.

      Once you have made your setting enter the same values into the 'Calculate optimised Pulse triggers and Particle Count' User actor.  That is included in the demonstration patch available here.

      This will calculate the available frequency range for your particle parameters based on Isadora Preference settings.

       So...

      1/ The pararmeter for the Frames Per Second is first set in the Isadora Preferences.

      2/ The parameter for General Service Tasks is first set in the Isadora Preferences.

      Calculate the efficient number of particles based on the Pulse trigger frequency and total life span of the particle.

      3/ set Fade-in time 

      4/ set Hold time

      5/ set Fade-out time

      RESET the user actor. 

      Keep an eye on the LOAD rating and if it goes too high reduce the settings in the Isadora Preferences and reenter the new settings accordingly.

      You will still achieve an acceptable particle effect at Target Frame Rate 24 FPS and General Service Tasks - 12x Per Frame. If your computer is struggling try Target Frame Rate 15 FPS and General Service Tasks 15x Per Frame.… be kind to your computer!
