Zynthian V5

Most people doesn’t have latency problems with zynthian, but this is something very subjective and sometimes totally non rational. For instance, some time ago i had a discussion with a keyboard player that complained about latency. BTW, he was not a zynthian user :wink:
I tried to explain to him that he should consider placing the monitor closer to him. The monitor was placed more than 3 meters from his head. I mean:

d = v * t => t = d / v = 3 m / 300m/s = 10 ms

by having the monitor at 3 meters, he was adding 10 ms of extra latency. My moving the monitor to a closer position, he could gain 5-6 ms of REAL latency.

He told me that this was not the problem, that he meant the “delay when playing a note”. “OK”, i said :grin: :grin: :rofl:

The best!

I agree. Jitter might be worse than latency for a jazz musician. Even 10 milisecs might be fine if it was pretty consistent and you could adapt to it. We will see !
