Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

What does soundcard latency has to do with midi data? ASAIK, the BCF/BCR2000
units send midi data to the computer. I think souncard latency is a
different matter.. What I have noticed is more of a "graphic latency" if you
know what I mean. When I move the pots the sound obeys but the screen is
slow. This disappeared when I upgraded my computer and graphic card. Just my
2 cents..

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.
