Hi,

I have a problem about midi-real-time on Mac: I suppose this has been
already discussed
but unfortunately,  after many unsuccesseful tries  to reach the FAQ 
website
I'm forced to ask someone to help me:

I use a Mac computer 9600/200Mhz;
I tried to control a very simple archestra via a midi keyboard;
everything works but with an unacceptable delay.
Yes, I tried with different buffers lengths and
taking care of many other things (screen-save and other things off)
Naturally I'm using OMS.

I suppose the problem is known:  is the solution as well known?
Thanks a lot.

	yep...
		always felt uneasy calling it "real-time"

  fact is its gonna take alot of hacking to get real-time sound
working properly [low latency] on the mac.

		have you taken a look into supercolider?
	or BeOs Csound [most likely cheaper than sc]
 (although i havent tried out
RT MIDI yet...)
	
and of
course
theres
grain
wave
