That helped! I now have to wonder what best to do.
At least in theory, I could
run the pre-hardware chains at 192K :-) That could certainly be set up to add
very little latency to the resampling phase, if it worked! We will see :-) I
almost want to go to non-digital electronic audio for the resample phase; it
could tend to simplify...it would mean a lot more output hardware...
That is not nessessarily the case. Lets say you have machine A that has a
midi port with midi in, then you go to midi out and then to midi in on
Machine B. You have just added twice the latency you have just going into
one machine (making it 3 times) and the synth is just getting the play
info. Now the synth makes sound, has latency going out of machine B and
then going into machine A and then out of Machine A... again 3 times the
latency... 6 times all together. Better to use a HW through box from the
keyboard and split it to your various audio boxes... and mix the audio out
directly in analog. Use the network for control... It may be possible to
get lower latency with MIDI in/out/in by bypassing jack in some cases.
(Jack would still be better for recording as the timing is kept)
