Paul:
The new Delta control panel isn't as accessible anymore, since about
April or May of this year. No easy way to change latency or routing
options in the patch bay. More bitmaps and weird controls that aren't
obvious by default.
They've taken most of the good old standard radio buttons and sliders out.
This is annoying, since that driver fixed a lot of issues related to
streaming samples from serial ATA hard drives on Silicon Image chipsets.
Also, the drivers won't install under Windows XP SP3. If you already
have your Delta installed before you upgrade, it will work fine, but
they don't like to install properly afterward.

Hi Raymond,,
Yes, it sounds like you are experiencing a latency problem, caused by
the m m e driver that your on board soundmax card is using. There are no
asio drivers for it. You will indeed need a better soundcard. Soundmax
was not designed to meet the needs you are asking from it now, but don't
worry. A good soundcard could be something like a delta 44 from m-audio.
That is something good to begin with. It has asio drivers and costs
around 170 American dollars or so. Its control panel is accessible too,
which is something you should be well aware of, when buying a new sound
card.

Subject: Re: QWS List o/t synthfont realtime midi input issues
Hi again,
A few weeks ago I had trouble with synthfont and midi input. I have
changed keyboards and computer setups. Here's the new configuration,
along with new problems which I believe are easily fixed, I just need
your help.
Windows: xp home
Ram: 512mb
synthfont version: 1.2.1 or something like that
soundcard: sound max digital audio
Synthfont settings: buffer size 3072, number of buffers 3, I think.
(Jaws isn't really clear on where I'm at)
I am almost confident enabling Acio would help, but there is no enable
acio option! I'm guessing I need some acio drivers or something? Now,
I'm having an extreme lag in midi events, 150ms or so. If I adjust
buffering settings to decrease lag, sound breaks up. Playback of midis
with synthfont can be made very responsive with no issues like the
ones I'm having with midi input.
Any guidance?
Thanks for all the help!
