AKAI MPK25 pad delay??

[Bonz]

Recently bought the MPK25 and finding that theres some kind of delay on the pads and keys...

If im to hit a pad or key it will only produce the sound like a second late.

Any one know what settings i can change to help this?

Also the MPK25's pads are so stiff!

i had this problem with my mpk49, its your computers latency, go into the setting and drop the latency down and keep dropping it down until you here audio interfearance (like a scratch or popping noise)

then raise it up a tiny bit until the noises stop, and that will be your best latency and the lag should disappear...its what i got recommended...worked for me

as what AZ said...but to add...you will need to get ASIO4all drivers....

all laptop sound cards are shit....but it might help

the better the sound card..the better the sound & the lower the latency

ahhh i see!

so since im using FLStudio, go into audio settings and drop the buffer length?

its sitting at 98ms at the moment...thats only due to me not having ASIO before.

I now have ASIO drivers through my Audio Kontrol 1 tho.

How can i check if FLStudio is using the ASIO drivers?

Or should it just be automatically functioning since the installation of the Audio Kontrol 1?

you should also be able to select your soundcard in the settings i imagine (i dont use FL studio though)
