Subject:Re: Add Pipe organ to your clone! Lap-top Latency?

Hello, Thomas.
There are some great suggestions for latency issues with the miditzer software on their web site discussion page. Perhaps you might find what you need there. The sound card can cause the delay. But the miditzer also has latency built in because that is what pipe organs do. But there is an adjustment in the midizer software. How short yo can adjust the latency without distortion depends on the computer.

>Hi,
Regarding the above snipped portion of your post, I wondered whether
the delay you mention is a direct result of a latency problem related
to an MME driver ( instead of a low-latency ASIO driver ) on your (
built-in? ) soundcard, rather than pipe sounding delays?

On a related matter I am having problems running B4 11, and VB3 in a
VST host program using the Creative Labs, Audigy ZS2 PCMCIA sound-
card.
However I set up the program using the Creative ASIO drivers, latency
and number of samples settings, I can't quite get the program to run
totally smoothly. If it's a PCMCIA bandwidth problem, is there any
way of dealing with it? I can get the programs to run fine using MME
drivers but of-course latency then rears it's ugly head.

If I use = M-Audio's USB off-board stand-alone midi/audio I/O box
instead, the programs run fine using ASIO drivers.

I would have preferred to use the Audigy PCMCIA device and I wonder
if any lap-top clonewheel experts could offer any suggestions
regarding settings?
I am using a mains connected Acer 1.5ghz Pentium M running Windows XP.

Thanks, Thomas.
