hi, I totally agree with Michal about the OS. I haven't tried MacOS but i know for sure that XP can't beat a good rt Linux kernel. That being said, I personnally spent about 6 months trying various Linux distros before i found a good match with my hardware. Although I have had very little luck

Hello, one more cent, for cancelling double attacks caused by latency it's possible to crossfade unprocessed signal with processed decayed signal, and wouldnt affect almost all kinds of guitar effects based on windowing, this trick even resolve artefacts caused by pitch-shifting. Then the

Hi Jeffrey! I ve been trying to minimize latency in Pd for a year now, experimenting with various OS and hardware. I m using Pd for the same purpose, that is live processing of electric instruments (mainly a guitar). I would recommend using a Linux distro, because they have realtime kernels, and

Hello, latency delay is noticeable at ~25ms, below there are artefacts grain caused by phase decay if the source and the processed signal are played together at the same place with almost same amplitude. 11ms is only the buffer size, and other elements in sound processing need to be taken in

His set uses an electric bass through Pd. My guess is that even the un-processed signal goes through Pd to avoid echos or comb filtering due to latency. In my (2 cent) experience to let the un-processed signal go _through Pd_ is still unsatisfying, because anyway you have to deal with some

Hi, y'all. i'm starting to get the hang of pd now (about a year in to it), my main interest in using pd would be to create effects for processing my instruments (primarily electric bass and acoustic drums) and accessing them via an arduino footswitch and/or an arduinome i plan on making. My
