ARP issues

[dent]

I believe I have resolved the issue... Couple of things:

- Misunderstanding what the 'LIVE' button does in relationship to playback. The button should only be used when you are recording midi input via a keyboard. It removes latency during playback too - BUT, there is already compensation for this latency (either by Live or the VC) so it should be turned off (not red) when you are playing parts in a sequence.

- Setting from 48000khz to 44100khz in the audio settings. It is my understanding the virus internal clock speed (not midi clock) is 44100. Constant conversion would be taxing, and I suspect, introduces errors.

- Lowering the buffer size to 256 samples instead of 512. I also looked at the driver error compensation - not sure if that made a difference, but my latency is reportedly 5ms now.

- Ensuring only the 'track' and 'sync' options are armed for the output of the Virus Ti Synth in midi sync and that it was set to 'pattern', not 'song'. This seems to get Live to send a steady stream of midi clock messages to the synth. This is indicated by a flashing orange light up near the tempo while the sequencer is in play mode.

So, now I finally able to get into actually making some new sounds and sequencing out some stuff. I am absolutely loving the sound of it now. Just wish I could turn it up louder - BLOODY NEIGHBOURS!

Cheers guys
