<P><FONT SIZE=2>Guys (& Gals),<BR>
<BR>
PLEASE HELP! I'm running Pd vanilla 0.42-4 on Windows Vista Dell Studio laptop with Pentium Dual Core T4200 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/1MB cache) and 2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800MHz, using a M-Audio MIDISPORT UNO 1x1 USB midi interface, and -noaudio startup flag.<BR>
<BR>
I'm running this midi latency test patch with the MIDISPORT In & Outs CONNECTED with a female-to-female midi adapter -- and I'm getting 89's & 90's!!! Incidentally, I also ran it using the In & Thru jacks of a Korg keyboard, and the results were identical... so something is definitely very wrong with this picture!!<BR>
<BR>
The worst part about this is that my entire purpose for learning Pd was so I could create a Pd patch to use incoming midi notes to "step through" a series of predetermined notes or chords and send them back out to a midi sound source, for the purpose of "triggering" note / chord sequences in realtime from an electronic drumkit. I've made the patch... but this latency is killing me!!<BR>
<BR>
BTW, this is my first post here, so please pardon my 'novice-ness'.<BR>
<BR>
Any ideas, anyone????<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance,<BR>
<BR>
