<DIV>
<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here are my two issues:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>******FIRST*******************************************************************</DIV>
<DIV>LATENCY (The following is a description of what happens without using gem. Specifically, I type ``pd -audiodev 3 -midiindev 1'')</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a midi controller going into an m-audio usb quattro, and the latency is around 0.5 seconds. I'm using windows xp. I have ``asio'' selected in the control panel for the quattro. If I try using ``-asio'' everything slows down to the speed of molasses.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How can I reduce the latency to something reasonable? Does anyone else have the same setup as mine?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>*******SECOND******************************************************************</DIV>
<DIV>GEM CRASHING (I type ``pd -audiodev 3 -midiindev 1 -lib /pd/gem/gem'')</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everything (except for the 0.5 sec latencey) works beautifully for about 15 minutes, when, invariably, either one of the two following things happen.</DIV>
<DIV>1.) An error window pops up and says something like ``a fatal error has occured.'' I click ``ok'' and pd closes.</DIV>
<DIV>2.) A bule dos-like screen comes up, but the text is so enlarged that I can't see the entire message. I can make out something like ``physical memory has been dumped.'' At this point I can't return to windows without restarting. When windows comes back it says it has compiled an error report and that I should send it to microsoft so that they can make windows better.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is there any hope for me making Gem more stable on my system?</DIV>
<DIV>*******************************************************************************</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
