midi latency - sblive slow with A4 demo -ACID Product Family

Subject:midi latency - sblive slow with A4 demo Posted by: carnie Date:9/9/2002 12:36:06 PM Is there a way to adjust latency with the sblive soundcard when playing vst softsynths? I am getting an unusable response time so far. Is this because the support is mainly for asio cards?
