Good news is i bought this.
http://www.yamahasynth.com/products/syn ... /motif_xs/Needless to say it's a beast. It sounds beyond belief for my ears. It also serves as a 16 mono channel audio inteface at 96khz and 24 bit called Mlan16e2. It comes with Cubase and is configured specifically for working with Cubase. It is not as userfriendly as they claim, aspecially if you want it all connect to your pc etc. Good computer knowledge is needed to get it up and running but that is to be expected since this is not a toy.That is the good news.
The bad news is shown in this graph.
I have a latency problem.
The bad news is that if you want to stream such audio you need a system that does not have too much DPC latency. What ? Yes, it took me every evening of the past week to find the cause. Some device or driver is causing my pc to generate DPC spikes. I practical terms. Every four seconds my audi gets interupted for about half a second or more. Not really what i need. Now i have an amazing piece of hardware and it turns out that some obscure design problem in my laptop causes it to have hickups when it needs to perform.
I can't afford to by a new laptop for at least three years or my wife who has been extremely understanding lately will have me shot and trown of the white cliffs of Dover.
So unless if find the cullprit that is causing the hickups and can shut it down i can't use the hardware to it's fullest. Damn.
I'm going to get to know my laptop like i don't want to know it searching arround in it's bowls.
The sunny side of this story is i know where to search and the fact that i have a proffesional sounding piece of kit with which i'll be making music for years to come.
I justed wanted to share this in case anyone else is searching for latency problems.
