Setting up your system

Setting up MIDI

This section describes how to connect and set up MIDI

equipment. If you have no MIDI equipment you can skip

this section. Note that this is only an example – you might

need or want to hook things up differently!

Connecting the MIDI equipment

In this example we assume that you have a MIDI keyboard.

The keyboard is used for feeding the computer with MIDI

messages for recording. Using Sequel’s automatic MIDI

Thru feature you will be able to hear the correct sound

from the instrument track while playing the keyboard or re-

cording.

A typical MIDI Setup.

Setting up MIDI ports in Sequel

Sequel automatically finds any MIDI devices on your com-

puter and allows them to be active MIDI inputs for record-

ing.

Optimizing audio performance

This section gives you some hints and tips on how to get

the most out of your Sequel system, audio performance-

wise. Some of this text refers to hardware properties and

can be used as a guide when upgrading your system.

Two aspects of performance

There are two distinct aspects of performance in respect

to Sequel:

Tracks and effects

Simply put: the faster your computer, the more tracks, ef-

fects and EQ you will be able to play. Exactly what consti-

tutes a “fast computer” is almost a science in itself, but

some hints are given below.

Short response times (latency)

Another aspect of performance is response time. The term

“latency” refers to the “buffering”, i.e. the temporary stor-

ing, of small chunks of audio data during various steps of

the recording and playback process on a computer. The

more and larger those chunks, the higher the latency.

High latency is most irritating when playing software in-

struments and when monitoring through the computer, i.e.

when listening to a live audio source via the Sequel mixer

and effects. However, very long latency times (several

hundred milliseconds) can also affect other processes like

mixing, e.g. when the effect of a fader movement is heard

only after a noticeable delay.

A system that responds fast will always be more convenient

to work with.

• Depending on your audio hardware, it may be possible

to “trim” your latency times, usually by lowering the size

and the number of buffers.

For details, refer to the audio hardware documentation, or, if you are using

a DirectX driver under Windows, the dialog help.

Always make all connections with all equipment

turned off!
