My setup consisits of a Roland VS890, Roland PMA-5, Cakewalk HS2004, FX Expansion DR008 and Toontrack's Drumkit From Hell Multiversion.
What I'm trying to do is use the VS for the master MIDI sync source so it can playback the PMA5's patterns, songs and what not. I then want the MIDI out from the PMA5 to trigger the DFH sounds (like a midi keyboard) that I'm running using the DR008 through the DXI synth rack in Cakewalk.
The PMA5 is triggering the DFH sounds and the VS is sync'd with the PMA5...no problems at all. The problem is that when the PMA5 triggers the DFH sounds, there is a delay. What ends up happening is the DFH drums trigger out of tempo and completely out of sync.
Is my computer too slow to do what I'm trying, or are there settings within Cakewalk, DR008 or the PMA5 that would improve the performance? The DR008 is my first experience with soft synths so I don't really know what to look for.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appriciated. I 've been working at this for a couple days now and just want to get back to playing some music!
