Native Instruments Latency

[Voutsonios]

Helloooo

Yesterday i installed for the first time in my life something like that in my machine
It's a NI B4 and there is a latency almost 1 sec from the time a press the keyboard until i hear the sound

is it because i m using my PC keyboard ( i havent got a midi keyboard) or is it a common problem that i have to get used to it?? ( i hope not )

Pls help me cause its very anoying

Cheers

hi

You must use asio drivers for playng soft synths in real time !

If you use Digi001...then man sorry...but there is no asio drivers for it [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

If its the VST version of the NI B4 then your out of luck in PT LE, you will need an ASIO sound card. Looks like there are TDM/RTAS versions of some of the native instruments, but only for MAC. grrrr ...
I have worked around the ASIO problem by setting up my spare latop (IBM 380Z) as a midi module. It runs the VST instruments and things like Reason and then PT LE speaks to it over MIDI (clock/stop/start, etc.)

Good luck !

I picked up a second soundcard, an Audiophile 2496, for about $120 (I think). I use it for asio stuff, and steam the outputs back into the Digi001. Works fine.

Hello Again

Thanks for the replies
there is a good and a bad thing
I m not using PTools so as you said i have a chance but the bad think is that i dont know anything about ASIO stuff

is it something that i could download??

My soundcard is a simple SBLive 1024

Vouts,
Hi. The first time I installed Reaktor it did the same time. Turned out there was an adjustment in Reaktor to speed it up. I pushed it down to about 100mS and things were fine. On a 500MHz P3 pushing it too much further caused clicks and pops.

Look somewhere under the MIDI Setup and see if you can find somethin similar.

Take care,
Mark
