When you use a MIDI keyboard it's important to have a low latency (buffer), right? The latency in most off my audio app's is about 70ms. Is that low enough or will it be a pain in the ass when playing the keyboard?
If I make it much lower I get a lot of hissing and cracking. Kind of strange 'cause this is a fairly new pc with a quite good soundcard. Any tricks to lower it without getting hissing and cracking?
Wahoo! I managed to get it to 10ms! (The sound was cracking because I had polling and hardware buffer enabled) Let's see if I can get it even lower.....
DirectSound is the better way to go as it doesn't have to go through too many layers of translation, hence "fast". My MIDI keyboard is set up around 10-20 ms also. Too bad there is no expression controller interface though (as I mentioned in my MIDI posts here).
