I am having a hard time conceptualizing what effect the -frags and -blocksize parameters have on Pd. I would like to get the best MIDI timing I can. I've fooled around with both parameters a bit, and it seems like -frags 2 -blocksize 256 is as small as I can get it without having even the test audio/midi patch buzzing. I seem to remember having these much smaller before. Does this sound about right? And what about -sleepgrain?
My laptop has a i8x0 sound card built in that I'm using. For MIDI I use the serial port and a MIDIator 124W. I have lowlatency patches applied to a 2.4.18 kernel, and am using ALSA 9b10. Thanks for any and all help.
