Ignoring timestep and running simulations without UI updates #54

Open tekinozbek opened 1 year ago

tekinozbek commented 1 year ago

I have an audio circuit that I want to run but I do not need to see the UI updating, so I would like to have the simulation run as fast as possible without losing any accuracy in the audio. Otherwise I have to wait a long time to get 1-2 seconds of audio samples.

I get your frustration; I've recreated most of the MFOS synth modules and they're pretty sluggish and glitchy. Here are some of the things I do to speed it up:

You can disable "Show Current" and "Show Voltage" in the Options menu
Resize the window to be as small as possible (even if it's squished behind the UI, it speeds up the simulation)
Remove any scopes
Minimize the whole app or browser window.

It'd be great to have a toggle to run the simulation IRL speed (1x) and have the audio play continuously as long as the sim is running.
