operating conditions.  However, there are virtually limitless numbers of operating scenarios, any of which could affect your system’s 
performance.  Though this section cannot cover all possible situations you may encounter, we would like to offer some suggestions 
for dealing with common problems.

If you are connecting to a computer, we recommend that you avoid connecting too many devices to your computer at the same time.  
The more devices you have connected to the computer, the greater the load on the computer’s CPU.  Although it is possible in theory 
to connect multiple USB devices at the same time, doing so may degrade your system’s performance. 

 

 

Switch off the unit and leave it off for 10 seconds. Then restart your computer, power up your Panda and try 

again. 

 

 

 

This delay is known as latency.  Latency with MIDI signals is caused at the computer and is not coming from the Panda. 

This may be due to the CPU load of the soft-synth you are using. MIDI data is simply control data. MIDI data is read by 
the soft synth; the soft synth then completes a large number of complex calculations in order to produce the sound you 
hear, and all of this processing activity takes time.  If you already have adjusted the appropriate parameters relating to 
latency on your sound card, try re-installing the latest drivers for the sound card, or try reducing the buffer sizes of the 
sound card. If you are using a host application, check its buffer size settings as most applications allow for user adjustment 
to improve timing. 

 

 

 

Section 6: Troubleshooting

The Panda has been designed to give you high performance MIDI control. It has been tested under a wide range of system and 

My Panda suddenly stopped working after having performed well since installation on a computer:

 

I have connected the Panda to my computer. When I press a key, there is a delay before I hear any sound.

PC only: If your soundcard supports ASIO or WDM, then please use these drivers. It is suggested that you’d better 
not use the MME driver which is older and less efficient in design and will have a much higher latency. In the audio 

 

device settings, please select the ASIO driver if available.
