Author | Topic: A question about the Capybara's converters |

![]() ![]() ![]() On the page http://www.symbolicsound.com/cgi-bin/bin/view/Kyma/CapybaraSpecifications, you can read :
quote: Is it possible to get rid of the 3 ms latency and have some kind of "low latency" mode in order to use the Capybara as a standalone A/D D/A converter? If no, it would be great to have a Tool that would do just that : put the Capybara in standalone converter mode (no latency) with the ability to route the analog inputs to the digital outputs and vice versa. Is it possible to program by myself such a Tool, or does it require some specific internal knowledge (well, I guess yes!!!!)?

![]() ![]() ![]() In analog/digital sound conversion there is *always* latency involved. I´m not sure though if that´s the whole 3ms in this case. IP: Logged |

![]() ![]() ![]() I understand a small latency can be induced as a consequence of the A/D or D/A conversion, but it's got to be much smaller than 3 ms for specialized A/D devices. In our case, the latency is (I believe) caused by stream buffering or something, in order to feed the DSP's. On some audio cards, you can switch to low latency mode, in which you have virtually no latency (by a magnitude of a couple of samples). I actually tested the Capy's A/D + D/A conversion when set to 3 ms, and found it was fine for recording. Hence, the Capybara and the Alesis AI-4 are two of a perfect pair, and I can use them so that I can use the ADAT input and replace the DIGI-001's poor converters (or broken, the interface is old now).
