GPUs may not be great for latency.
- pama 3y agoYou may have a point. Perhaps naively I imagined that if competitive gamers can handle it, they may be useful enough for piano. Currently the CPU software is lacking in quality (though improving over time) but has acceptable latency compared to grands (which also have latency due to the mechanism and the location of the sound source).
- ssl-3 3y agoReal (proper) pianos also have latency between a finger pushing on a key and sound coming out. There's mechanical bits that need to move some distance before a string is struck or muted, and these bits do not have infinite acceleration -- they've got mass, momentum, and inertia. Can these latencies not be balanced between techniques? I'm no expert on synthesis or pianos, but my immediate thought is that the digital thing may need slowed down to match the latency of the analog thing.
