Therefore, the interface latency is 1 ms. NORD STAGE - Iconnectivity MIDI4+ Interface –> MOTIF XF = 5 msĤth: But this latency is reduced to 3 ms when using the internal routing of the interface (Iconnectivity) between its various MIDI DIN plugs. NORD STAGE - MIDI USB –> MOTIF XF = 2 msģrd: With 2 different MIDI interfaces ( EMU 1X1 and Iconnectivity MIDI4+), produces the following result : 5 ms latency. So there is no additional latency when using USB MIDI even through a small freeware. Same result : 2 ms latency between the two synthesizers. And using the small MIDI Patchbay software to route the USB MIDI signal between devices.
NORD STAGE - MIDI DIN –> MOTIF XF = 2 msĢnd: With USB cable into a router.
I want to compare the speed between a MIDI signal through the MIDI DIN vs MIDI USB. I want to be sure that USB is too fast that my “old-fashioned” MIDI DIN and not add latency when I play.Ī Nord Stage (master) controls a MOTIF (slave) : MASTER –> –> Slaveġ: With the classic MIDI DIN (5 pins), we obtain the following result : 2 ms latency between the first signal generated by NORD STAGE and the second generated by the MOTIF. A small article where I share you my user experience about the MIDI latency between the 5 pins DIN connectors and the USB plugs.
