Re: [xl7] CS via USB

2011-01-23 by James Ulibarri

Andrew,

I know it sucks doesn't it. I don't think they were far along with USB at that point when Emu released it. A hack would be pretty cool but I have no clue what is all involved to get USB connected to a DAW for knob control, etc.

I experience a lot of midi latency and reaction time with my knobs. Which has been discussed before. A full 1/2 second or so before I see any knob movement on the computer. I sure hope it's my computer, or drivers, and not the CS with a DAW in general. Well when doing regular CC tweaks to other hardware there is no midi latency that I can remember. So it's my slow computer. I will get a new laptop in a few months. Too much other stuff to get right now. It never ends.

OK, I have found something related in an earlier post:

"As for the e-mu's usb port, you cannot use that as a substitute for
midi. You either need a midi interface or a device such as a usb
keyboard that has a selectable midi port.

Thanks for the answer Steve! :)
