I just returned from a trip and I discovered the discussion. For months
(years...) I work on this problem and the best solution I've found in terms of
responsiveness is to use PlayCommand Agent X (see Jacqueline web site for that)

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hiya Folks,
Further to our recent emails on this...
I've now just implemented the same functionality using keyboard on keyDown
events for each sound instead of the mouseDown event with startling (positive)
results. (thanks Jacqueline for suggestion!)
It seems that the keyDown event arrives
One thought:
I imagine that a virtual instrument is significantly more effective when
relying on the keyboard (multiple sound triggers possible) compared to the
mouse (one click at a time), so unless your project has some other
requirements that were not shared, it seems that relying on the
Hiya Scott,
Yea.. the mouseDown on a virtual instrument for a user is difficult in a
desktop computing scenario for sure.
We're different here though...I can't remember if I already specified this, but

whiteboard with
Ah, OK, that's definitely a different implementation than a keyboard.
Only a few other options I can think of for the mouseDown message:
1) Trapping mouseDown in a frontScript, which gets executed before any
mouseDown events in a button/card/stack. Have you already tried this?
2) Not ideal
If anyone has any suggestions for Anthony, I'd be eager to to hear them as

Anthony is still getting some latency issues. It would be
great to see Anthony's project done in LiveCode.

First of all, welcome to the list community. You've gone farther down
this road than I have, so I don't think I'll have any useful comments
on latency for you...

Franklin Audio has no dependency on Quicktime.

Thanks for your replies everyone.
Just to confirm, the app in it's current state contains ONLY the code to
trigger the sounds from the buttons. The only other overhead would be about
