MIDI playback issues
Posted: Tue May 10, 2016 6:58 pm
I've been a long time DP Mac user (ever since 1987, back when it was just Performer) and have never really had any issues with DP. I recently decided to give the Windows version a try since there are several Windows only synth editors I need to use.
I'm having some serious MIDI playback issues. I have demo versions of DP9 on a iMac running 64-bit Win 7 (quad core 2.7 i5, 32-GB ram, 1TB) and HP also running 64-bit Win 7 (quad 2.4 intel Q6600, 3-GB ram, 600GB). Both have the same MIDI playback problem (less on the iMac). Problem is both machines can't seem to playback even a simple repeating 16 quarter notes on a single MIDI track (no other tracks on the project) without dropping notes randomly and/or making notes hang/freeze. It's even worse when I engage Transmit MIDI Sync to my drum machine. I can open my older DP7 audio only session from DP 7.2 Mac and those work fine. Seems odd that two machines would not be able to handle extremely basic MIDI playback?
Could this be a MIDI driver issue? I have a MTP AV (usb version) and 828MkIII audio interface. Try re-installing the latest MOTU drivers for both but no luck in fixing the issue.
Thanks
