Granul Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Hi! I have a Casio keyboard CT-X5000 to use the keyboard with midi i have to plug in computer. Is there an audio interface that I could plugin the usb for midi, for latency it would be better ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshansh - Alex Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 To clarify, CT-X5000 is not an audio interface. It can only transfer (out) midi notes with velocity sense to the output accepter like DAW etc. Audio cannot be played by using midi connection. Also, there will be some latency to hear the final output (audio) while playing midi notes which is normally happen. This is because of processing of PC. There is an option to reduce some latency from PC in DAW. I'm a FL Studio user... So, to reduce the latency in FL studio, I go to OPTIONS > AUDIO > Lower The Buffer Length and all done. This settings can be seen on almost every DAW "Reduce Buffer Length" on Audio Settings. So, some latency still be present because of computer processing. This is normal 🙂 Let's see our respected community support on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The audio driver is usually the biggest influence on latency. I've been using motherboard integrated audio for years with success just by using the Asio4All driver, that's if you're on Windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike Windows, you don't have to concern yourself with locating an alternate driver for Mac. IF an alternate driver is needed for a particular keyboard or interface you are connecting to your Mac, it will be provided by the maker of that keyboard or interface.

Thank you, it is all working fine now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akshansh - Alex Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 In Garageband the best things to reduce the latency is to reduce the Load on your device like Close startup apps and background app which you don't need at that time. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
