IK Multimedia Android Latency claims at NAMM

This looks interesting, as I would much prefer to use a tablet for field recording to bring back to the DAW rather than a separate hand held device. I wonder if our roving reporters from the forum who will be attending NAMM will have any feedback...

    Typical ad drivel... "Zero Latency" turns into "near zero Latency" turns in to "2ms latency" if you read long enough.
     
    A moving target presentation like that leaves me guessing it would only take me 2 or 3 seconds to call up an amplitube patch that runs at 6ms.

    Yes Mike I did notice that...and of course Zero Latency would defy the laws of physics so the hyperbole did not go unnoticed !
     
    Taking the marketing departments hyperventilation out of the equation, I am still curious as to know what developments may or may not improve the lot of the Android / audio world as the hardware naturally gets more powerful...

     Is Android based on a Linux kernel?
     
     It seems like they are stating that they are introducing a universal universal serial bus driver that you can jailbreak on to your appliance so that their software and an Android phone can achieve parity with the performance we take for granted with a Line 6 foot pedal or a Casio portable keyboard.

    Yes it's based on Linux.
     
    Android apps are based on a java-like machine model, so there's a bit of latency and performance issue with it - apps are widely separated from the OS and drivers.
     
    There is some support for native applications - and it looks like IK has made some sort of USB driver with a pipeline that bypasses some the OS/virtual machine.

    One of the tricks a programmer can use is to take advantage of a priority inversion when interrupts occur. If it were up to me, I'd make sure all of the components of the USB driver stack were at higher than normal priority in order to get all it's processing done immediately as far as possible before reaching an app. That and anything I could do to bypass known bottlenecks.

    One of the advantages of the virtual machine model is that it acts as a security layer that prevents apps from killing the phone in your phone.
