Subject:midi delayed sound Posted by: METAFOR Date:5/25/2004 1:20:49 PM I got my midi contoller to work with acid. The only thing is the timing from when I press the keys to when the sound actully comes out the speakers is delayed. Is there anything I can do to adjust this. thanks

If your soundcard provides such drivers, try using them. Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid mD's ACIDplanet Page Guitars 4 Kids
Subject:RE: midi delayed sound Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:5/25/2004 1:51:55 PM If you have a sound card that supports ASIO then you want to use the ASIO drivers. Go into Options->Preferences and click on the Audio tab. Look under Audio device type: (it probably says Microsoft Sound Mapper) see if there is an option that says ASIO in it. It if does select that. You may also have to press the Advanced button at the bottom of that dialog and configure the drivers to lower the ASIO buffer latency. If you don’t have an ASIO capable sound card then adjust the Playback buffering (seconds): on that same dialog to see how low you can get it before the sound breaks up. It will not be as good as ASIO but it will make the delay shorter. If you’re going to use a MIDI keyboard, you really need to get an ASIO capable sound card. ~jr
