Lexicon Lambda/Omega Cubase latency, CPU load

[patte]

Hi,

I'm considering Lexicon Lambda or Omega for Cubase in a 1.0 gHz laptop with XP. USB is my only option, and I need 4 in.

Has anybody tried playing (guitar) vith vst plugin with this kind of setup? Is it possible to get 6 ms latency without overloading CPU?

I'd be very happy to hear any results, as there are no local shop for try-before-buy, and its a pain to buy and send back. I'd read that the other features of these boxes are good - good preamps, clean audio, and working midi.

best

audio-midi review looks fantastic

Hello

Searching web i saw a glowing review about omega here: ihttp://www.audiomidi.com/aboutus/reviews/edge_omega.cfm

where it stated on mac, and using logic that buffer setting could be set as low as 64 samples which sound incredible.

Now thats in a mac and i still wonder if some-one has used lexicon omega in a PC laptop, and if there is any chances going 128 - 256 samples with a reasonalble CPU load.

I surely understand that this may depend on a lot of issues, but It'll be fine to know if there is any possibilities!

Lexicon Lambda/Omega Cubase LE

Has anyone used Lamda/Omega with Cubase? Which samples / latency can be expected ?

Looking at your spec (1Ghz) laptop (AMD, Intel ??), it's way too slow to handle multiple VSTs.

Sorry bro... couldn't help, never tried lamda/omega.

thanks staring

Hi,

Ok, maybe one gig (its mobile AMD) too slow for vsti, thanks for that comment. Thats surely one thing, though i tested before with an axe into the internal noisy sound card, asio4all and a freeware vst called voxengo boogie, and that sounded realtime to me.

I sure would be nice to get a answer from some Omega / Lambda users as well about this Cubase latency thing. Does it exist any Omega/Lamda owners here at all ?
