Problems with polyphony and latency

[Roby31]

It's "funny" to see people saying "Access didn't care about the standalone" when everybody else says that standalone mode works better. I have no timing issues whatsoever in standalone mode, using my TI2 desktop, cheapass m-audio ks 49e - and my patches sure as hell aren't DSP-easy. 6 mod slots, 3 lfos fully used, delay + reverb + distortion + character, 2 hypersaw + 4x unison and I still get to play with some polyphony

interesting, this is very different than my experience. MIDI timing is really quite bad with my TI, even when using the USB (ruling out my MIDI interface).

would you be perhaps interested in trying a test for me? i created a test project in ableton a while back to illustrate my point, that other users on this forum were able to reproduce (the thread has since been deleted) - i'd be very curious to know if you are experiencing the same issues. if this is a hardware issue specific to my unit, i'd very much like to know, although support was able to replicate the problem (almost a year ago now).

i'll compile the test shortly and post it here when ready.

ok i've uploaded the test project if anyone is interested to try it out. the project is saved in Ableton Live7 format, but the recorded audio files from my TI are there (pay no mind to the start points). the MIDI is just a repetition of the same 8-note chord quantized to 8th notes. also included is the sysex of the single test patch i created to illustrate the issue:

for each recorded audio file, i changed OSC1 to a different oscillator type, starting with a classic sawtooth. oscillator balance is at 50%, and OSC2 does not change at all. i turned the filter cutoff down and set the filter envelope to a quick decay (sustain at 0) and moderate release. same goes for the amp envelope. otherwise, there are no effects, no doubling, etc. just plain-jane synth sounds that should not be taxing the DSP at all.

i've sent the same project along to Access support, but i'd be curious to know if anyone else has the same issue.
