PIANOTEQ BLACK FRIDAY WINDOWS 10
Sorry for going off the rails, i.e., the topic of this thread: getting Pianoteq working on a Windows 10 machine. But in practice all you need to do is try out what works best with your equipment, as you and have both done. There often are good reasons to oversample, and the maths and engineering behind it all is a bit involved (and more subtle than the way most lay or even some professional folk understand the problem). If your setup sounds better at 192kHz then more power to you. There are valid reasons for Pianoteq to offer such high sampling rates (other than marketing gimmickry). You may not be interested but others might be. Why this happens? Drivers, hardware, anatomy, psychology? I don't know and frankly - not interested. I claim, that on my equipment and soft, when I switch between this modes - there is difference. I am not claiming that I hear the difference between 48 and 192 kHz. My own subjective experince is much important for me, then someones else, when I am training at home with headphones You may also play, as you want. I hear no difference between 48k and 192k personally, so I don't waste CPU power on it.

But as far as quality of the sound goes it should not make any difference. The main benefits of oversampling beyond the hearing range are getting rid of aliasing artefacts (when the signal being sampled contains frequencies above the audible limit, i.e., the signal is not properly bandwidth limited), or as a brute-force workaround for less than optimal digital-to-analog conversion hardware (rarely an issue these days).įor compatibility with other hardware/software that uses higher sampling rates it may be useful to have the option of Pianoteq producing a matching output. Then there is no point going beyond 48kHz sampling rate for output as far as sound quality goes. In that case I'd assume that Pianoteq engineers being the clever folk they are would make sure that the signal generated is properly bandwidth limited to the Nyquist limit of 24kHz. The internal sampling rate of Pianoteq maxes out at 48kHz in any case, as far as I can gather from the UI (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Whether your transducers are high enough quality to produce this effect is another question. The upper range that we do hear is much more detailed because there are, of course, more samples, more points, to shape the waveform rather than only having enough samples to have one positive point and one negative point in alternation for the waveform.

May be it is due to drivers or my audio device, but I have this effectĪs I see it with 192kHz (or rather hear), sure, it makes it possible to produce frequencies up to 96kHz, which is far beyond what we can hear. Fact is a fact: 192KHz sounds for me noticeably better. give lower latency (with the same buffer size)Īnd don't tell me about bats and "that is impossible", I've heard it many times.

You could probably get lower latency if you used 44.1/48k and, say, buffer size of 128 samples.ġ. waste of bandwidth and CPU time - and humans are not bats. I see no reason to run your stuff at 192k.

Driver reported latency is just one small part of the whole "total round-trip latency" equation. But in this case I decrease max polyphony Latency: is shown as 10ms (but, I guess, it is even smaller) Windows audio sample rate (audiocard settings): 192000 Hz Try to increase sample rate to maximum through both audio device settings (windows) and Pianoteq settings. There is no problems with latency - very playable. I use Pianoteq with my old Core 2 Duo and new Windows 10. What can I do to reduce my latency in Windows 10 on this machine? I would like to take advantage of the Black Friday 30% discount on PianoteqPro, but can't see spending anything if I can't reduce the latency. I found ways to make it almost one second long, but nothing to reduce it to a 'playable' latency. Nothing reduces my latency below about 1/4 or 1/5 second. I have also tried the demo program on my Dad's Sony Vaio, also running Windows 10.

I have tried both Bluetooth audio (where I first noticed the problem) and via the laptop's internal speaker. I have reduced my buffer to 256 and to even less. I have tried running it via Windows Audio, Windows Audio (Direct), ASIO4ALL, and also running VirtualMIDISynth. Today I purchased a new Microsoft Surface4 Tablet which gives a Performance Index in Pianoteq v5 of 14, but the latency is about 1/4 second.

I am very impressed with the trial demo that I ran on my old Windows7 notebook from ASUS, but that processor was so slow, that I kept overloading the CPU if I tried to play more than 4 or 5 notes at a time.
