It's not exactly instant - there is a low latency there on a mac. Not being proficient on keys - only using a midi keyboard to trigger drum loops and phrases - I have not found this a problem. However, when I have accomplished keys players trying to play through a mac (G3 Powerbook, G3 & G4 Desktop, & Imac) into logic (to the EXS24, EVP88, ES1) they always complain about the latency and ask me if I can fix it because it puts them off. I can't find the relevant buffer settings anywhere to lower the Mac AV latency - does anybody have any suggestions? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick Loe Web Developer / Music Producer SAS, 6 Salem Road, London W2 4BU T: +44 (0)20 7243 3232 F: +44 (0)20 7243 3216 E: nloe@... ------------------------------------------------------------------- The UK's most popular property website just got better.
