with Pd (Win XP) but I'm running into problems. When I move a knob
on the midi controller there is a delay of at least one second until
the controller data show up in the Pd window (I simply output
controllers using the [ctlin] object). This delay makes it pretty
much unusable.
This happenes if the audio latency of pd is set lower than the latency of your souncard itself.
Try installing the asio4all drivers from http://www.asio4all.com/ and set the latency of the asio4all drivers (or any other dedicated asio driver - if your souncard has one) equal or lower to pd's latency.
Don't forget to save the setting in the "file/startup" as usual.
Hope this helps!
