Hey everyone, I'm working a preset that's supposed to more or less emulate a PVC pipe instrument (similar to Blue Man Group). While I've got the sound more or less the way I want it (though it could still use more tweaking), my lack of familiarity with Sculpture is preventing me from being able to eliminate the very slight delay at the very beginning of the preset. I've messed around with every parameter that I can think of, but can seem to get it to where when you trigger notes, you get a zero latency sort of attack. Could someone provide some guidance, please? Also, free PVC pipe instrument Thanks! PVC Tube Drums.pst.zip

It was created from scratch.

I was a Logic 9 users for years, and only recently switched over to LPX after building a new system and installing El Capitan. All of my friends ravd about LPX, so I figured I'd be good to go, with this new speedy system. I've been having some major issues from day 1, and no amount of searching for a solution has unearthed anything that seems to apply yo my situation. My general project template is to have a collection of empty audio, Omnisphere, Play, and Multi-Output Kontakt instances loaded up with a host of libraries. It doesn't give me a very good feeling when I open an empty version of my template and I start getting spinning beachballs when I'm doing things as simple as scrolling up and down the arrange window. The problem gets worse as more information is entered into the project. It usually manifests itself in a variety of situation, though it's hard to pin down the exact reason. It happens in the middle of playback, after playback, while scrolling around the project, and when simple clicking on interface element and editing automation, among others. My main project/sample hard drive is a 1TB drive with around 80GB free, and though I know that's not the recommended 20%, I never had these sorts of issues with same hard drive on LP9, even when it was almost full to capacity. What other information could I provide to help hone in what the issue might be? With this software being something I spend 50% of my time in, it's become a huge burden to have to wait after almost every pass of playback or simple actions like moving between MIDI notes and regions for the software to catch up and get ready to work again. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Jordi, I had abandoned this issue, since I wasn't able to find a solution, but had no idea that you replied. Thank you for the reply! I had essentially just accepted that I wasn't going to be able to solve the problem, with my minimal expertise. I installed Midipipe, but am having a hard time wrapping my brain around the pipe "flow" as they call it. It seems that there are filters built in as tools you can use, but I'm not sure that I'm doing it correctly. I've tried setting the flow as MIDI Out > MIDI Filter (with various options goggled here) > MIDI In, but can't seem ot achieve the desired affect. Is Midipipe something you've had experience with? I watched this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hHByfJWAf0), but his goal was to modify the MIDI data being sent from his MIDI keyboard to the host program, rather than inter-program audio.

I'm still experiencing the same issue and have never found a solution. Has anybody else had a similar experience?

This is the Environment window result of Starting, Stopping, or pressing ESC in Sibelius as seen in a monitor between the Physical Input and a Channel Splitter. I've been trying to figure out a way to use the Transformer to filter out certain things that might keep the spikes form happening. No luck.

Hey all, A long time ago, I configured Sibelius to route a few of the tracks to Logic via an IAC bus. Some tracks are playing via VSTs and a few are routing MIDI to Logic. It works as expected, meaning the signal flow works properly and everything, but I've always experienced a CPU spike on the CPU meter Logic when starting/stopping play back in Sibelius or pressing the ESC key at certain times while working Sibelius. ESC Key Issue If Logic is in focus and I press the ESC key, I don't have any issues. However, if Sibelius is in focus and I press the ESC key, the CPU meter spikes. The only exception in Sibelius is if I've created text and immediately press ESC, which doesn't deselect text. If I then press ESC again to deselect the text, the CPU meter spikes. The conclusion I reached was that any time I press ESC in Sibelius in such a way that everything becomes unselected (or if nothing was selected in the first place), the CPU meter spikes. Start/Stop Playback Issue As soon as I start playing my score from within Sibelius, the CPU meter spikes. The interesting thing is that while Sibelius is playing, I can hop over to Logic and press play there, and the CPU meter drops immediately. However, if I then go back to Sibelius and stop the score (which was still playing), the CPU meter spikes again and remains in the red until I go back to Logic and press play again. The result is the same, whether I play and stop in Logic to relieve the CPU or just play then stop after Sibelius has been stopped. Is there anyone else out there who has experienced this? It happens in every version of Sibelius I have tried it on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information than I have provided about my Logic/Sibelius setup. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, Alan. Yeah, I had uncovered every way to access it via clicking, but I'm a key command nut, so I was hoping this was coming that could be assigned and I just wasn't finding it. Do you know if it's possible to make feature requests directly through Apple? Thanks again for your help!

I couldn't find it anywhere in the Key Commands section, but figured I'd ask. Is it possible to assign key commands to alternative tempo tracks?

Thanks for the tip! This has been bothering me for a while. However, I went ahead and turned down the volume on all of the Note Off samples to make it nice and clean sounding.

Well, it's only been a recent issue. Didn't start doing it until the 9.1.3 update, so I suppose I'll just have to find a work around. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the speedy reply. I've tried every possible permutation of clicking speed, but it doesn't seem to help. Like I said, it's only doing it with some PLAY instruments, but none of the other plug-ins such as EXS24, ES2, Sculpture instruments.

Did you eve find a solution to this problem? I'm having the same issue currently, but only wit PLAY instruments.
