Hello all,
I am using Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 as my sequencing software..I also use an external USB midi interface to drive my harmonizer and other midi instruments on my external sound modules. My problem is that when I go to trigger these soundfonts from an external MIDI controller keyboard,I get a second or less "delay" between the time I touch the key and get the corresponding soundfont assigned to that track...I move to another track,and it's the same delay with THAT soundfont assigned to THAT track.
Very irritating,as I want to start recording on a track and trigger these soundfonts into the sequence..I can correct this by turning the MIDI Echo thru mode from "auto" to "none",but then I'll get no triggering of the soundfont instruments at all! I can't record a new track at all using these soundfonts using an external keyboard controller because that short one second or less delay between the key hit and hearing the soundfont instrument is driving me crazy!
Is this inherent and standard with trying to use an external MIDI controller to drive these sounds,because it takes a second or less to trigger the sampled instruments?
Is there any way around this so I can hit record and play these instruments from an external keyboard without this delay? Of course I have NO delay at all when triggering other MIDI instruments through a separate sound module using the very same USB midi interface...I'm hoping this is not too complex in trying to explain the problem I'm having...The delay between key hit and sound makes it literally impossible to record any new sounds as the rest of the sequence is heard. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
