robertg Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have to advance all of my midi parts about 14 ms to account for sound card roundtrip latency for live playback in the composition stage. I have to do this for every region; changing the multi-instrument's "delay" value seems to do nothing. Interestingly this isn't needed when it's time to record midi synths, only for live playback, I wonder why that is. Seems like a design flaw. Anyway, is there some way in the environment to cable in an auto-delay mechanism or something of that nature so that each region doesn't need to tediously be adjusted?

David Nahmani Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Not sure what you mean by auto-delay mechanism. You can use a delay object to delay the output of your MIDI events, if that's what you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could there be another way to make midi play early? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) If i understand correctly, what you are asking... and as an alternative to using the environment... You can do so in the Track Parameters Box There you can advance and delay all the notes on that track (rather than by region) by using the Track Parameters Box Click on the Track Parameters Box disclosure button and then set up the required delay for the entire track. Hope this helps Edited October 23, 2012 by n6smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[attachment=0]Track Inspector Delay.png[/attachment] Hope this helps That delay parameter does absolutely nothing. The only one that works is the one above it, for regions, and I have to set that for every single region.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) That delay parameter does absolutely nothing. It works just fine here.... (I just did a test with 9.1.7 moving the delay back and forward 500ms... in case it had been broken during one of the updates as i haven't used it in a while..but no.... works fine) ...though I am using it with software instruments... and not with external midi. Maybe it is bugged when used with external midi? (Can't test that at the moment due to where i am and my minimal setup here) Edited October 23, 2012 by n6smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm going to try something that may or may not be clever, and that is to cable the audio instruments to midi channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe.. though according to the manual.. it should and i know it used to do so as I had to use it with the Korg Oasys to correct a small delay that occurring when running the early versions of Stephen Kay's built in Karma modules.... Odd it doesn't now..... I wonder if someone else could test this out and see if it affects everyone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
