Comparison midi timing

HI
 
 
Is there a trick to get the midi timing much tighter ? I find it not so good ATM. Which buffer do I  need 2 tweak here?
 
I use 128 samples on my MOTU
 
 

Are we talking about audio latency here or midi timing?

I haven't seen an adjustment for midi.

I do have an older interface that works with cubase that uses buffering to more accurately deliver midi out of all the ports when they are supposed to be. Must not be that much of an issue because that stopped making them.

Hi Hero,

You need to be a lot more specific when you talk about MIDI timing.
Are you talking about MIDI "jitter" upon playback?
Are you saying that X2 doesn't record the MIDI data precisely?
Are you talking about timing issues with virtual instruments or with hardware instruments connected via a MIDI interface?

Depending on your scenario, you may find that a different MIDI interface provides tighter timing.

Lots of variables when you talk about MIDI timing...

There really isn't any parameter in SONAR that affects MIDI timing accuracy per se. Is the issue with the relative timing of notes played back by a single synth, or the sync between different MIDI instruments and/or audio tracks?

If possible, I suggest you try recording some simultaneous audio and MIDI from a keyboard synth (or by micing performance noise from a drum/keyboard controller), and compare the MIDI recording and playback sync with the audio against the timeline to get a handle on what "not so tight" is in ticks/milliseconds, and whether it's a consistent offset, or random variability. The former has the potential to be corrected by configuration changes. The latter would more likely be due to an underlying O/S or interface hardware/driver issue.

The key to fixing stuff like this is determining exactly what the nature and degree of error is, and where it originates. There are so many ways for audio and MIDI to get out of sync, you have to very precisely describe the symptoms to get good help.

thank you very much  , kindest regards
