Vienna Ensemble Service
Latency Settings
In the Vienna Ensemble Service Interface you will also find the Latency settings. This value ONLY affects the
latency added over network when you are playing live.
!
The Vienna Ensemble Service Interface plug-in automatically compensates the latency in
playback
– even if you have set the Latency to different settings for different instances of
Vienna Ensemble.
We have applied dynamic latency compensation to Vienna Ensemble. This means that your sequencer will
automatically adapt to the chosen buffer settings of your Vienna Ensemble Service Interface plug-in.
!
ATTENTION: RTAS does not support real-time dynamic latency compensation at the moment;
the plug-in has to be reloaded for changes to become effective. Disabling Delay Compensation
and enabling it again is also known to work.
Setting the
Latency
to “ none”
will synchronize Vienna Ensemble with your soundcard, so that no latency is
added
– while very good for recording percussive sounds, this also adds a lot of strain to the CPU.
Setting the Latency
to “ 1 buffer”
will add one buffer to your soundcard latency. If your soundcard latency is,
e.g., 256 Samples, your latency when playing live will be 512 samples.
Setting the
Latency
to “ 2 buffers”
will add 2 buffers to your soundcard latency. If your soundcard latency is,
e.g., 256 Samples, your latency when playing live will be 768 samples.
And so forth …
Generally speaking: The faster your CPU and the better your soundcard, the more you can expect from your
system!
