Kim,

I too use LogicPro on a MacBookPro (and have been using it since Apple acquired EMagic).. never noticed any MIDI latency issues (.. and no, i dont make slow and sad muisic ;).. the only thing that comes to mind when speaking of latency in Logic are the buses, since (and go figure out why) there is no latency compensation. What I mean is that if you apply a plug-in as an insert to a track (which will play fine) vs. applying it as an insert to a bus and routing a given track to that bus (which will cause latency).

Also, if you're controlling analogue gear via MIDI->CV, one should keep in mind the latency introduced by interface itself

... but if you are looking for a computer with REALLY tight MIDI timing, you may want to look into an old ATARI (520, 1040, Mega or Stacy).. these are really unbeatable and can rival any hardware MIDI seq... but MIDI-only ;)

yulian.

Hi Ross

As i read it you're not asking about midi to cv conversion,
but about what midi/computer setups we use ?

- I use Logic Pro on a dual G4

- it's ok for the slow stuff and sad songs but the midi timing really isn't very
good. - if i wanted/needed fast, tight midi i'd get a hardware sequencer instead/also

all the best, - Kim

Hi all

I have decided after a year of noodling that I would like to hear the
Serge running under midi control using laptop PC- Cubase SX.

I have a CV converter ( I still need to make a lead from the CV box to
ground serge) but wondered what people are using midi box wise....I
havent used a computer for music since the Atari 1040ste back in the
early 90s.
