Page 33: Troubleshooting
I hear any sound. Solution 3: This delay is known as latency, and latency can be adjusted by changing the buffer size setting in your M-Audio Control Panel The goal is to set the buffer size as low as possible without experiencing artifacts in the audio Faster computers generally allow for smaller buffer size settings, and thus less latency You can also avoid this problem by using the Direct Monitor knob See the “Using Direct Monitoring”... - Page 34 Problem 6: My synthesizer always recalls the sound next to the program number that I have sent to it from KeyStudio. For example, if I send a program change with the number 40 (Violin), my software loads sound number 41 (Viola). Solution 6: Some General MIDI modules count their sound patches from 1 –...
