View Full Version : Latency of running a sound source through the TI?

I did a search, but didn't see anything address this specifically (probably looked past the answer). Let's say I wanted to run my JV-2080 sound module through the virus to use the virus effects on my 2080 sounds in realtime. What is the latency I should be expecting. With my soundcard, I can control this (and usually set it to 256 buffers = 7ms), but am not sure if this can be controlled on the virus. For me, the complete latency from when I press a key on my keyboard - sound generated by 2080 - sound goes through TI and is manipulated - sound gets transferred through usb into audio app (Cubase) would have to be 13ms or less. Is this possible?

hmmm, no response yet from access. Just to make sure I am thinking about this correctly - with the new TI, we should be able to plug another sound source (ie a sound module) into it and use the TI's effects to manipulate the external sound modules sounds, correct?

edit, you know what, I haven't downloaded the manual yet and read it. Going to do that right now! :)

You can do that already with any Virus.

I often run a Korg workstation through the Virus for it's reverb and stuff.

The latency will be the same as any digital effects processor.

There is no real latency. It is as 'instant' as any live/realtime fx processor.

I run my Roland sound module through it.

You can run it 'clean' through, or put it through any of the patch fx such as reverb, distortion, filters, etc.

I have a Virus B but I can't see these features being dropped...!

Thanks Timo and PDC, I have no idea why I didn't think of it in terms as one of my other external effects processors. :)
