VCI 300 faders and EQs latency/resolution

antonborisov 10:47 AM - 8 September, 2008
The ads states that VCI 300 sends high-resolution MIDI signal from jog wheels and pitch faders. What about other controls - faders, knobs, etc.?

And a question for owners who can compare this device to any other midi controller. Do you notice any latency when you operate faders or knobs? Is VCI really feels like a real mixer?

i can *sometimes* notice a slight latency, but overall it operates very very well. Some things I do very quickly, so I think the average user may not notice. I'm no midi expert, but I think the other knobs and stuff send data via midi as well. There's no other way... I think?

Can you please describe this in a greater detail? When do you notice a latency? What are you computer specs and USB buffer settings?

It's hard for me to explain... its more so the turntablist/trick mixing type stuff that I notice. Like... if you're rocking doubles and you take the snare and double it up and sometimes push the fader to the other side and stab the snare a few times with the upfader then go back to the cross fader.... too hard to explain.

I have a 2.2 macbook with 4gb of ram and the USB buffer at the lowest setting unless I get issues, when I just kick it up a notch. I never really keep it in "one" setting and I never really play it "safe." haha
