Hi there,
ASIO4ALL is an audio driver, and as such it only reduces latency if you are producing audio from your PC, for instance if you are using a software synth.
I believe this is not your case, as you are routing the livestyler MIDI output back to your keyboard, so no audio is produced by the laptop.
Nevertheless, if it were the case, ASIO4ALL actually helps reducing latency: you just install it and change the output audio device of the software synth to the ASIO driver.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Pedro Vieira

Subject: [LiveStyler] Livestyler: latency decrease by ASIO4ALL?
Hi all,
- - - being new here, let me introduce myself - - -
I am just experimenting with live styler for my hobby of playing the organ/keyboard at amateur level. My compliments already to Norbert for this wonderful tool! I certainly consider buying it. Background: I want to 'upgrade' my old Wersi Performer keyboard/organ, but the available styles etc. are still priced in the old glory days of organs. I am bidding on a Ketron SD2 expander to get voice quality improvements.
In the experiments, I encountered a big latency, which makes live playing not possible. The problem could be tracked back to the midi interface: it is a M4U midi interface. I installed the latests drivers and now the latency has been greatly reduced. But there is still some of it. Marginal, but sometimes annoying.
My question here is: would it help further if I would install ASIO4ALL? I don't fully understand what that program exactly does, but I see several notes about it in these kind of forums.
My gear setup now: wersi performer --midi--> M4U --usb--> laptop --usb--> M4U --midi--> wersi performer. The laptop is an oldie: AMD Athlon 1.9GHz, running XP. In the process of acquiring a SD2 to do the sound generation. (And alternatively, also a Walther midi accordeon and a Digital Classic Piano as input tools.)
Greetings, Henry. The Netherlands.
