Slow response

[brtaln1]

When I play my keyboard key through the midi connection to my computer there is a 1/2 sec to 1 sec delay. What would possible be the cause for this and how can I adjust to correct?

Thanks

This is what's known as latency. If you are trying to trigger a sound generated by a softsynth in response to MIDI messages, and rendered by software into the output of the computer's soundcard, you need low-latency drivers for the soundcard (nd host software that supports them) to even have a hope of doing this in real time. That is, ASIO drivers or WDM drivers. The operating system you are running under will also be an issue, at least with WDM drivers -- you pretty much need Windows XP or Windows 2000 for those.

At this point in time I am running Windows XP, Pentium 3 and using Home studio 2004 with a Audiophile 24/96. I was under
the impression the drivers you mentioned were installed in my system. I will recheck.

Thanks
