Just want to say that the new 1.10 update the new GUI looks terrific. I’m finally going to try to figure this thing out now.

Wow, this new version is amazing, looks just as good as it sounds. Thank you so much John & Pyer !!
What a treat, I’m sure I’ll spend many a happy hours experimenting. Thank you both for an amazing module 
There’ll be more updates hitting GitHub soon with substantially improved performance
Pro Tip: Don’t update your user interface at 44.1KHz.

Just a quick update on what’s going on:
RIght now in GitHub, on the master branch:
-
I have implemented a new mode which switches the internal sample rate from 96Khz to 48Khz. This is switchable from the context menu. The performance improvement with this change is substantial, making 6in/2out a usable setup and 2in/2out a realistic default option.
-
Changing the sample rate may have some negative consequences for sound fidelity. I have not heard any evidence of sound degradation running at this rate yet. The sample rate converter used in VCV is really really good.
-
The output in BpRe mode is one octave lower than it should be. In order get this working I need to regenerate some data (filter coefficients) at the new sample rate and I want to take this opportunity to re-engineer the code from 4ms which does this. It works now for the 2 and 1 pass filters since I can wrangle to code to correct for this.
The adventurous are encouraged to take a look - I can provide windows binaries if there is interest.

Hey John, and thanks for the update! It really has nice improvements sometimes but I found some audible changes in the one of the mode between 96 and 48 khz. Just check this patch please. prism new test.vcv (15.8 KB) The change will be noticed on the higher harmonic
Mentioned on FB about the faders taking away from the beautiful design a little, so here’s some tweaks, PR’d.
Transparent to show handle min/max
Also change the min position of the triangle and widened the fader background a little (last triangle out off the edge)
Hi Artem,
Yes, you’re right. At higher frequencies the filter frequency drifts quite a lot.
For example, if the requested filter frequency is 14465.95Khz (one of the 17TET notes), in 96Khz mode we get a frequency peak at 14638Hz, that’s off by 20 cents (one fifth of a semitone). But in 48Khz mode it’s at 17918Khz (370 cents, or near 4 semitones).
So that’s not great, but the drift seems to be smoothly varying so I think it would be possible to calibrate it out.
At lower frequencies there does not seem to be problem.
The 48Khz mode does appear to be slightly quieter.
Thanks for the contribution! I’ve seen the PR on GitHub. I’ll pass this on to Pyer.
Any conflicts with the PR?
No, but we won’t merge the PR as we’re not using Git to manage updates to the files.
They’re small changes to the fader/handle struct and panel. The only big change is the fader .svg I can pm that if you want to use it, it’s yours!
I’ve only tried it very quickly and it seemed to be extremely hungry in terms of resources, on my old Linux system. I haven’t tried changing any default settings.
Any chance for a port of the Spherical Wavetable Navigator? I almost bought one but saw that it doesn’t have individual outputs. Would love to see it in VCV Rack with 6 outputs!
What do you use?
