I would think that a 64 bit OS would be more efficient for a convolver.
Thanks, Skip
Fair enough. By default, CamillaDSP used 64-bit floats (but optionally can use 32-bit floats) and as its maintainer says in his repo README, "In general, a 64-bit CPU and OS will perform better."
Last year I built 64-bit RaspiOS/moOde several times to explore what has to be changed in the build recipe. I tested only for software issues and had no way at the time to assess SQ adequately (and don't trust my ears and brain to do the assessment anyway). There have been many updates to various software components since.
Testing that all DACs/drivers/3rd party software work is necessary and time consuming. Fortunately, the RPF is moving from a heavily customized userland to a Debian userland with a few RPi-specific additions so we can hope that packages which have been wrung out in other 64-bit environments will show few issues in RaspiOS.
