HI Jim,
just one thing to add, maybe it will help to add "-sleepgrain 2" to Pd's command line. I've found that on some Gates systems this helps but not on all of them...

Hi Jim,
I use Pd on winME and win95.. There is ultimately little that you can do about the latency issues..(faster processor will help a little but i don't think that extra ram will really help) You could play with the audiobuffer variable to get better latency for your midi timing but you will lose audio quality...You could try updating your drivers for your midi/audio card..
I am running a 750 mhz machine but i still get pretty bad midi latency (as i still do sometimes with Cubase e.t.c.) The new version of pd is supposed to have better midi timing i think (miller will know) but without really windows custom drivers i thini you are going to have to live with it or create a workaround...
Once i wrote a patch system that delayed the whole audio output to DAC by the Midi latency (adjustable by the user) to tie the two together in some way, but oviously this isn't very good for any live work...
hope this helps

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any tips other than what is in the pd documentation on how to get more speed out of pd. I'm running a 500 MHz Celeron processor withWindows 98. When I run with midiin,midiout nosound I get good timing on midi if I add soundout (dac) I get a lot of jitter and delay on midiout. What would be the best way to get rid of this. ie. more RAM?, faster processor ... any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi! I'm wondering how to compile GEM. I checked all the libraries, got everything, and now i get errors, seems like the code is not proper. In short words, if somebody knows stable compiling release. I got RedHat 7.1. Thanks in advamce. Serge
