i upgraded the novations os to 2.3.03 which i believe is the latest.

same problem...can anyone else tell me what sort of latency they are getting with the X-station?

many many thanks

something seems really odd here, can anybody help me out. Previously was using a MOTU 828 with 1.67 Powerbook, through latency about 6ms with 200sample buffer. Got meself a novation X-station 49 keys, and throughput latency is 50ms! crikey. something must be wrong. I downloaded the latest drivers, r...

sounds good. count me in.

talk to steve... he'll help you. maybe I'll have a word to him tommorow

coming from a 'band' usage (as opposed to dj/ electro thing) I think there needs to be some better solution. The current solutions sort-of work for this situation... but are by no means great if you want midi control of scenes with a large number of songs at your disposal on the one live .set

I'm suprised there are not some more 'perfect' solutions appearing, due to the success of the laptoppians.

ah yes, i can see that it would work fine for many people, but not all.

I just secretly pray that ableton has a neat song management system under the christmas tree for us.

this is something which hopefully the ableton crew are working on.. it's a very big problem (and you'll understand why as you get more and more songs in your repetoire) It's not a problem at all.

well, the easiest way as a powerbook user is just to use the built in osx app Quartz composer. I was just going to trigger some simple textures etc using midi and quartz composer.

cool! thanks guys. keep it coming!

I had considered a vid projector, but thought that it might be not worth the hassle... but even a crappy one would be ok, (doesnt have to be in focus etc)

my band is looking to add a little colour to our sets, and we were looking around at putting a few lights on the floor to point at the drums etc. Do any of you guys and gals use lights? Is there any new light-technology around? is it worth doing? please share. :) (my band was thinking 2-5 lamps, not...

congrats on evelyn gig.. quite hard to get a gig there am.

I'll try to make it. got any advice on latop stands btw (I''m looking around)


cheers,

so now i am confused. is the Z series better?

the double x series seems the way to go. is this correct?

I'm looking for something which is fast. It doesn't have to hold a lot of weight. (maybe 10 kg)

I just want my laptop to be safe, and for it to pack down reasonably compact.
