Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Latency......e.eeeeeeee

This is definitely a computer/interface issue, rather than a Poly-800
thing. As such, it's technically outside the scope of this list, I'd
say.

I could offer some general advice though:
You should look at the Logic/ProTools documentation, and look up
latency compensation. You should also consider rejigging your setup
so you're listening to the output of your synth before it passes
through your computer and out again. Some audio interfaces have the
option of direct monitoring the input, so you hear what you're
playing before it goes through your computer's input/output buffers.
I'm not familiar with the specs of the MBox, but I'd be surprised if
it didn't offer this option. Again, check the documentation that came
with the interface.
ProTools and Logic should both be able to compensate for buffer delay
by shifting recorded audio so it's in time with already-recorded
tracks. It's a complicated subject though, so you need to read up on it.

Hope this helps,
