That's exactly why I suggested to test the simple patch above, if it is any of those issues you suspect, it should come up just when using pd and midi.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 12:59 AM, Jim Aikin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:midiguru23@sbcglobal.net">midiguru23@sbcglobal.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Just to see if I got that right, the rip is:<br>
<br>
keyboard -> YOKE in -> YOKE OUT -> PD IN -> PD OUT -> YOKE IN -> YOKE OUT<br>
-> CUBASE IN<br>
<br>

<br>
No. The pathway is: keyboard ->M-Audio Firewire 410 MIDI in (via the FW 410's driver) -> PD in -> Pd out -> Yoke in -> Yoke out -> Cubase in. The Yoke is only in the path once.<br>

The sluggish response is clearly due to Pd. Also, it's consistent whether<br>

Pd's patch window is in or>out of edit mode.<br>
How can you be sure? You are making two trips using that patching software<br>
(I confess I had no clue what MIDI-OX was previous to your thread), there's<br>
latency in all of the above hops (MIDI message passing through softwares) .<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I'm sure because when I use the identical pathway but substitute MIDI-Ox for Pd, the latency goes away.<br>

Do you tried to see how is Pd's latency in a "simple play sine wave with<br>
MIDI note" patch? that will give you the response time of keyboard -> PD.<br>

I haven't tried it yet, but it's irrelevant to me. I don't want to play a simple sine wave. I'll try it just because I'm curious, but even if it's perfect, that won't help me.<br>

Then test the oposite, sending PD to your soundcard MIDI and playing some<br>
device or other solution, allowing you to test the output (by generating a<br>
MIDI message within PD and route it out od PD).<br>
<br>

<br>
Generating a MIDI message within Pd would tell me nothing, because I would have no way of knowing exactly when it was being generated.<br>

p.s. just for comparison I use MIDI in PD in WinXP without any noticeable<br>
latency, although only in Linux I do fancy patching in-out and have no<br>
noticeable latency (using everything in realtime).<br>

This may be a Windows 7 64-bit problem. Or it could be because I'm using Pd Extended. Or it could be something else.<br>
