Midi controller latency

Whenever I try to use a midi keyboard in the app I get approx. a few hundred milliseconds of lag. Is there any way to change the latency/buffer size in audiotool to reduce lag?

  • I had a constellation where this happened to me too.

    Are you using the Booster?

    • there is a noticeable difference as the buffer size decreases though, on 256 it's only in that 100-200 range but when it's at 2048 it's almost half a second

    • thanks for the tip, it was already down at the lowest setting unfortunately lol

    • Maybe it's not a MIDI-problem.

      Did you change the buffer size for the booster (by tray icon)? Bigger buffers mean greater latency.

  • Not in the app, I don't think so. And anyway, taking into account all the layers that your MIDI data has to go through from controller to app, the app itself might be responsible for only a relatively small amount of lag.

    • alright thanks, I'll see what I can do to optimize the latency outside the app
