Low Latency - What it allows
Low Latency - What it allows
Hi all, please excuse the incredibly novice and possibly off-topic question,
but right now, with the scarcity of X audio Apps, this is where the
knowledge is at.
What I am wondering is - if Core Audio / Midi will allow for sub 1ms latency
(using even built in sound-out?) - Would that effectively mean that one
could use their powerbook/ibook as an externally driven sound module via
midi?
Say, I have a hardware sequencer,and I hooked it up to my iBook via a USB
midi interface with some softsynth (like Reason which is claiming sub 1ms
latency) - would I be able to send 16 midi channels of data to my ibook and
have it stay perfectly in sync with any other hardware connected to the same
sequencer?
Could I get rid of my Akai S2000 hardware sampler, how does the latency in
OS X compare to 'real' hardware dedicated MIDI devices?
Also, are the audio in->out latencies low enough to make real-time audio
monitoring a reality? I really am sick of these 'pass through' solutions
that we need to use, as I would just like to use my computer to mix
everything.
All info appreciated. Thanks.
