Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
The coolsoft Engine has less of a delay problem then does Bassmidi. However, there is still some latency even with the Coolsoft engine. The best and easiest way to have a sound source without any delay problems is to use a hardware synth, like a Yamaha keyboard. God bless!

RE: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
This all depends on the power of your computer and audio interface. I've gotten it down to no noticeable latency, along the lines of what you get with most synthesizers and keyboards with their own sound sources. If you get the buffer size too low then any software sound source is going to give you stuttering and glitching, so it's always a bit of a trade-off. -Original Message- From: mai...@andrelouis.com [mailto:mai...@andrelouis.com] On Behalf Of Lizzie Kazmierski Dunn Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2018 6:46 PM To: QWS list <qws@AndreLouis.COM> Subject: Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer Does that one have any delay?

Does that one have any delay? If not, could you use an external keyboard and still keep all the sound inside the computer?

Re: QWS List orchestrating on the computer
Usually the delay is caused by using the default synth in Windows. Installing a midi driver such as Coolsoft Virtual MIDI Synth and tweaking its delay value can help. Though with that driver in particular it may cause a bit of stuttering if it's set to 0.

Hi. There's the on-screen keyboard feature, which uses the QWERTY keys for the different pitches.
