controller latency

[5dn]

Dear Abletoners,

I have an ALESIS V49 plugged via USB into my computer. How does one reduce MIDI latency?

It's unplayable at the moment

Thanks

What kind of computer do you use ie.: Mac or PC? What operating sytem? System specs? What softsynths?

PC, Windows 10, quad core i5, 64GB RAM, it's like that without softsynths
usually can run loads of stuff b4 CPU problems

but this happens anyway

u know what. i'm an idiot. loaded a nu set. no latency. is there a general way to reduce tho?

[miyaru]

A low buffersize is vital for low latency with softsynts and stuff.....

Most run between 128 and 256 samples, and some even lower settings depending on their system and interface.

thanks for the advice
