TranslationLatency
Re: Latency
Does anyone know if 1 eDRUMin10 creates less latency than 1 eDRUMin4 connected to an eDRUMin8 module (host)?

Re: Latency
Hi Denis,
for me it's still not clear how this is managed. All the gamers are complaining about their high keyboard input latency.
Talking about above 5ms.
Right now I've read that USB MIDI uses the bulk transfer protocol and that means polling is at a much increased rate.
I checked the latency with the eDRUMin10 connected through a hub and without, with USB sticks copying large files through the same
bus... no *noticeable* increased latency. I did not perform detailed masurements.
Maybe Rob can comment on this, but I think you will be fine!

Re: Latency
Thank you mprinz for trying to answer the question! In another thread, Rob said that this combination doesn't create more latency.

The lag problem:
Lag is more of an issue with e-drums that any other case. I want to hear sound in under 4.5ms from the time I hit the drum. With 3ms of that taken up by triggers, leaves 1.5ms for everything else. I went with RME MADI FX and Ferrofish A32 to handle it. Have to use RME configs with minimal channels to keep buffers at 64.
Before I found eDRUMin, the fastest drum brain was the original TMC6
