You can decrease the latency by lowering the number of frames. It is now
set to 1024, try 256 or even lower. I use a setting of 64 or 128 when
using a MIDI keyboard with a softsynth or sampler.
how would i see the improvement with /usr/bin/jackd -S
?
it doesn't change the expected latency in qjackctl when I do that.
No that's right. But it might improve performance of JACK regarding
xruns. -S means Synchronous or basically the ol' Jack1 way, some
soundcards work better that way.
One of the annoying things is the delay between the
midi keyboard
and the actual sound. I guess it has to do with the one we are tuning
now, right?
Yes, the lower the latency, the lower the delay between pressing a key
and hearing the actual sound. With a frames setting of 64 at 48Khz
system latency will drop to 2.67 ms (64/48000*2). Those are the kind of
latencies you want when using a MIDI keyboard.
