help with MIDI lag?
Posted: Mon May 16, 2022 2:36 pm
I’m borrowing a friend’s Push 2 because I wanted to try sequencing a bunch of hardware synths. Keep in mind that all the synths in the setup are running directly into a mixer so no audio from the computer itself is involved.
What I’ve found is that there is latency with the midi signal when I’m trying to play notes on the Push 2 controller (or the piano roll in Live). When I press a key, there is a noticeable delay before it plays.
The setup is pretty simple: MIDI goes from the computer to an Arturia Keystep via USB and then via MIDI DIN cables through a chain of instruments.
When I try playing notes on the Keystep to trigger other synths, there is no latency, but any MIDI notes originating from the computer seem to have a lag.
I didn’t think that there’d be any latency associated with pure MIDI information. Wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to remove this latency. Again… no audio being used on the computer… just purely MIDI into an all hardware synth setup. Thanks!
