Re: latency info for computers producing audio

["Lance Chance" <lrc8918@louisiana.edu>]

i'm using creamware (pulsar ii) and the latency there is pretty minimal.
as far as simply triggering soft synths, it seems ok.  any hardware but
actual an analogue synth feels a little squishy to me, anyway.   i really
like the pulsar series, now that the new software platform is out.
