Midi Keyboard Controller Help 2012-02-18 01:13:15 Reply

Hi everyone!
I just got a MIDI Keyboard controller (Behringer UMX490) and I hooked it up. I'm running FL9 and I'm trying to get it to work with the keyboard. I'm running into a problem where when I try to play a song on the keyboard, the sounds that FL plays are lagging far behind what I'm playing and seem to be unable to catch up.
I'm wondering what might be causing this and how I can possibly fix it.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Sounds like you may not be using the ASIO4ALL drivers...

If not, try downloading and installing them, and switch FL Studio over to use ASIO and that should fix the majority of the lag issue.

If after doing that you're still having similar problems try to reduce the buffer size to minimize the latency issues.

Thanks! It turns out that it was because I also attached a soundcard and I hadn't changed all the necessary settings for things to use the new soundcard and not the onboard one. Hence no Asio and hence lag.
Thanks for all the help!
