Native Instruments Pro53 question.

[Doddsy]

This question has been bugging me for over 5 years so can anyone comeup with an idea why?

I bought Pro 53 some time ago and was running it stand alone on my old Windows 95 P200 computer using a soundblaster card. Granted the polyphony was only 4 notes but I believe the original Pro 5 had that too. Since then I upgraded to Windows ME 1GHZ and installed the previous soundblaster card into it but running it standalone now there is a major latency lag in the sound reproduction that being I can't go less than 50ms. I just don't get it as its a shame as I love this softsynth.

Is because its too fast in some area and its conflicting with the soundcard?

I just find it odd that I got 10ms on my old Win95 but with windows ME and Vista I have to set it over 50ms which isn't usable really.

I've installed it on my Windows Vista 2.33 GHZ and I get the same unworkable results. I guess its kinda one of the reason why I like hardware so much you don't get latency problems!

I guess this has nothing to do with the Pro53 but is due to the different sound architecture in the latter systems.
You need to use ASIO drivers for your sound card. If it's not ASIO capable, download ASIO4ALL somewhere and
try this. You won't get a decent latency on XP (or similar) without ASIO.

Fruity Loops for example comes with ASIO drivers and you can as well download ASIO4ALL.

That will do the trick.

It works!!!

After a few years I can now use my Pro53 again. Many thanks Romeo Knight!!
