Title: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: roginator on September 23, 2008, 10:48:21 AM HI
I believe you all know that midi response of EII is slugish and and its not very best for drums and stuff couse of swiming midi!!!! so I thought of few things how to speed it up...BUT ..that wont happend couse it need a lot job around CPU and I quit on that... then I realised that keyboard has 100 times better response than signal over midi so I thought If ppl can do midi for Polysix, monopoly..... wich use 8x8 matrix keyboard controler programmed in pic why not do that with emu and add velocity control EII has same keyboard like Poly 800, OB8, memorymoog, prophet 600 , polysix, monopoly...... and for that beasts ppl made midi ( FAST MIDI) to control it over keyboard controler cpu!!!! ( midi converter directly connected to KEYBOARD CONNECTOR) ;) I told that TO CHD ELEKTROSERVIS tech guy http://www.chd-el.cz/ and he told me that would be possible and he will try to do something!!!!!! so maybe soon we will have chance to play EII really fast without MIDI problems coused of slow cpu ;) Title: Re: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: PX-7 on March 23, 2009, 08:52:44 PM I posted my own new topic about this and someone said no issues. How are you triggering samples?
From a hardware sequencer or a soft sequencer? I guess it shouldn't matter. But can you be more specific? How slow is slow? How many sounds at once are you trying to trigger? Title: Re: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: PX-7 on April 01, 2009, 02:47:58 PM The EII midi response is slow i've heard, but not as slow as the response on this board regarding this topic! :D
I'm yet to pick up my EII, so i'll soon find out I guess. I just want to know is there an issue with the EII being triggered from a hardware sequencer with making 4/4 minimal techno gonna be an issue? I'm not gonna be throwing that much at the EII, but yes, there will be atleast 4 to 5 parts being triggered. And can anyone back up the rumor of slow response on the EII? ANYONE with any feedback at this point? Title: Re: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: rokuez on April 01, 2009, 05:08:24 PM I don't believe there is a cut ad dry quantitive answer
there are 8 voices, and a slow processor chip in the EII which makes it trigger slow at some point From what I've heard it can get slow on hi-hats in particular Title: Re: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: dr.c on April 18, 2009, 12:36:30 PM There is a MIDI loop somewhere !
Put a keyboard, only to attack the EII, and try. ONE cable. If it works OK, its something else than the EII Title: Re: Emulator II MIDI response (very slow) Post by: Alanwilder on January 06, 2014, 09:12:19 AM Hello, I was just wondering if we have some measurements on this potential bad reputation the Eii has on midi timing ? Maybe it is version related cause on mine I was able to trigger drums very efficiently...
