Re: [bc2000] Re: faster pots response?

2007-01-16 by Erik Bowen

It doesn't matter how low the latency on my sound card is set (I've gone as low as 3 ms). I've run a test comparing the nonmotorized faders on my kurzweil PC2X keyboard with the faders and rotaries on my BCF2000, under identical circumstances. The faders on the PC2X are as very responsive, leaving nothing to be desired as far as I can tell. The faders and rotaries on the BCF2000's responsiveness is choppy as hell when they're moved fast.
To be fair, I've tried using other motorized faders on different units... they are similarly unresponsive (i tried a mixing board with motorized faders at guitar center). I checked their setup, and their latency was around 3 ms, so I know that this unresonsiveness is not arising due to latency from the sound card. It seems to me like units with motorized faders (and the pots too on my BCF2000) are inherently unresponsive, why I don't know... probably engineering idiocy.

the bcf will respond as fast as you like, its all doen to your
soundcard latency. Mine is set to 5ms and the faders and knobs respond
immediately.

Check your latency.
