Default Re: Moderate Latency with MIDI Keyboard

I have it working.

I did not need ASIO4ALL as expected.

I had problems with LoopBe1 detecting MIDI Feedback. I googled around for that problem and other people think they were getting false MIDI Feeback errors. The Keyboard would work fine, but as soon as I started playback on Notation Composer it would detect feedback after about 1 measure.

Folks suggested using LoopBe30 and disable the Feedback check and that worked.

I think I can answer most my own questions now.

The Windows MIDI Synth won't play through ASIO (maybe it could through ASIO4ALL, you have to have low latency to the Speakers (i.e. bypass Windows Audio Mixer)) by using SynthFont you get a different MIDI Synth (better/faster?) that supports ASIO (needed for low latency).

So you set Notation Composer to Output to the LoopBe virtual cable and SynthFont to use that LoopBe virtual cable as MIDI input.

I don't think the instruments sound quite as good.

It's a MK-4902 Kaysound Keyboard, not expensive but it works pretty good.

If I change the MIDI instrument on the KeyBoard it works. But as soon as I play Music from Notation it sets it back to Piano. I made sure I did not use Channel 1 in the Notation and kept that available for the KeyBoard, but that didn't seem to do the trick.
