Fishman Triple Play Latency problem with Sonar X2?

Lower your audio buffer in your babyface if using ASIO. If using WDM/KS you can lower it within X2.

Hello, I'm having problems with Latency and Sonar X2 (Producer), I'm trying to use the Fishman Triple Play Controller to record tracks (piano/synth/etc) in my DAW, I've tried: Edit > Preference > Midi Device and so on, and still latency. On it's own through my computer there's no latency problem, but as a VST patch there seem to be. I did have some latency problems before with my Midi Keyboard but some nice Cakewalk Forum members helped me, and no more latency problems with the keys! I'm also using a RME Babyface audio interface. If anyone has any idea's, I could really use the help?

Thank You!

Mike.
 

Hi Mike,
 
Any reason you're using the FTP as a VST rather than using the driver? I'm using the driver and everything seems to be working fine, although I'm still learning how to setup the FTP.

 

I want one bad!  But now I don't so can't help you much.  But for starters, fill in the questionnaire about the stuff you have so it shows up when you post.  Does the FTP track well (~<7ms) with it's own software provided. Did you load the software that came with it?  If not, try this load the FTP, close all, hard boot the PC/MAC (make sure the USB dies as well, some of those powered USB splitters give me fits), then run X2.  If this doesn't work, get on the phone with Fishman, while they still have their army of software engineers to figure this s$%t out.  Fishman does pickups, as you might as well know, this is their first endeavor, and I'm glad they are in the game.  Cheers

Additionally it seems when I have Sonar open and I try to save a sound from the Fishman software, (not my VST) my computer crashes? I also tried the software that came with the FTP, NI/IK and when I go to save, or close the system Crashes. 

I'll need to keep playing with it :) maybe I should have looked more into a better Midi Controller to drive my VST's

Thank thank again!!!

I contacted Fishman today (05-03-2013) and they stated that there are issues with Triple Play and Sonar X2, they did suggest "JBridge" and a few other options, Also on "Future Guitar Now" forum if you research it, you'll find a number of members disappointed in the Latency, so my situation is not isolated and Fishman is aware of it.

Thanks!

Hello vintagevibe, Fishman didn't mention about 32bit only, but they were extremely nice & professional! I've used there transducers for years in my Martin & Taylor acoustic guitars. From your statement I can understand Fishman suggesting JBridge software. I truly believe their trying to help me, but so much software is moving in 64bit direction,

Thanks!

I solved my Latency problem! It would appear that when I originally recorded an album that I'm working on, it was recorded at a higher Sample/buffer rate and when I attempted to record with the new FTP it would lag? So even when I lowered the rate it would show Latency? 

All I did was to lower the rate and reload all the songs back into Sonar! and it worked! There is almost zero Latency, of course If I play real fast it won't keep up, but it's not a Keyboard but I'm happy with the results "Very cool!"

I tried many forums (Future Guitar Now, Roland-V etc.) and couldn't get any information that would help, god bless the members for trying!!!!!
So I wanted to Thank the Cakewalk Forum Members for trying also! 

I also wanted to mention that the support at Fishman was awesome! They replied very quickly as they wanted to help and fix the problem, computers can be funny at times, software is very interesting of what they need to control, so I passed info to them, and it's all good.

Now I'm back in the studio again :)

Mike.
