Latency MacOS: This slider allows you to adjust the latency of your audio
interface in samples. Lower values result in a more immediate
playing response but are heavier on both the CPU and the audio
driver, and may result in audible clicks and pops. Larger values
are easier on the CPU, but introduce a larger latency (i.e., there
may be a very small delay between when you hit a pad and
when you actually hear it). You should therefore experiment with
this setting so that it is as low as possible without overloading
your CPU or introducing any audio artifacts.
Windows: When using an ASIO driver, the
Audio and MIDI
Settings panel shows an ASIO Config button instead of the
Latency slider. Click this button to open the settings window of
the selected ASIO driver.
