Snow causes increased latency with other softsynths?

[DivarU]

Hi all,

First post here, but a lurker since I bought Snow

I have a dedicated DAW (Windows XP SP3, 2Gb RAM, Audiophile 192) with Sonar 8 as my sequencer.

When using softsynths I have a hardly noticeable latency (256 samples, 5.8ms), but as soon as I add Snow as a softsynth there is a noticeable latency when using other softsynths. As soon as I freeze Snow (and Snow gets disabled) the latency disappears again.

Example: when I insert Stylus RMX, I can play the Groovemenu live and combine several drum patterns in sync. As soon as I add Snow this is over, the pattern start a fraction later and sync is all over the place and I can't play Stylus in real-time.

This also happens with other softsynths and is especially noticeable when using a piano sound, for example. Btw, I use the Audiophile's MIDI I/O.

Has anyone else stumbled on this?
