Re: 3 yrs on the Emu and now I get lag?

2006-02-08 by len

did you sort this problem out ????

as posted to xl7forum just now......

hi please can any one with an idea to fix this help  , as below 

delays on first beat of bar timing error etc. aprox .02 ms- .03 ms .

before you ask ," or as you put it "LAG"

problem is the data being played is not full or heavy on poly or midi 
CC in fact none .... , basic 4/4 beat and 16th note techno style hats 
3 sounds in all on track1 , track two arp synced to midi clock one 
note held for a full bar ect or picked mono bass line etc .

as soon as more than one track is unmuted the problem occures. & the 
more unmuted it gets unpro or XP pro , need i say more.

doesent matter what tracks are used ether , but with only one track 
playing its very tight and sounds good & funky OSX  "musical & free". 

i found that the fualt can be heard much easyer when delaying the arp 
notes ect , as all sound goes mudy " not nice" as soon as more than 
one track is played ??

using one track arped with delays or echo as before sounds clean & 
well in time . 

any clues , also i switched off the parameters to be reset on each 
pattern loop or first beat to off ect in song mode etc , but it still 
has the problem , 

dont know what to do about this , seems abit daft having 16 tracks 
128 note poly , & 6 outs etc , if i can only play a one note arp . or 
single midi track .

also i know my way around emu gear etc , also tryed sync to a korg 
electribe & otherz & still does it . , whats the latest OS for it ??,

i also reloaded the whole OS & preload data from emu wesite . no 
joy .

id realy like to use this peace of kit for it arps "better then 
electribe" + sounds are better / more outs , but its no good like 
this , or an expensive one track seq , the korg electribe SX has a 
similar problem but only if playing back well in to its poly & much 
midi note & data . about 8 of the 10 or so tracks , can put up with .

any thoughts are much welcome .

and sorry if i sound grumpy but i want my 909 back , lol 

cheers.
