RME HDSP 9632

Today my RME HDSP 9632 arrived in the mail from Poland.

The box looked like someone sat on it. But it was unharmed, and looked like new out of the wrapper, rather than a used product.

Works great. Best audio interface card I've ever had. Drivers did not blue screen me. Latency is the minimal possible, unlike earlier. Doesn't conflict with my other sound cards. Smooth sailing all the way.

The FP-90 now plays with an instant response when I a press key, the delay is a mere 1.60 milliseconds for input, 2.31 milliseconds for output.

Previously the best I could get with an old Soundblaster RX was 4.65ms/2.67ms, though sometimes I had to set the buffer higher to 7.42ms/5.33ms.

It's noticeable, and it affects how your mind has to work with your playing. The more the disconnect, the more mental work you have to do to keep the timing properly, and it does interfere with keeping it.

I shall be more happily playing the piano and other instruments in the future.

The Lord is gracious and kind and merciful.

Midway through Installing Touchkeys on the FP-90

The testing phase complete, I have begun the installation. Before I detail that I'll talk about the testing phase. In the testing phase, all the boards and sensors are hooked up in the proper order, and plugged into the USB connector on the computer, to be powered up and tested through the software. I laid mine out on poster board, which proved convenient as it was strong enough to hold the laid out sensors, and convenient to move them to other locations out of the way, as I lack a lot of free surface space at this time. The testing phase went well save for one hitch, in which the last board's sensors would only function once in a blue moon. After some helpful advice from Dr. McPherson, and reading about previous installations on the Touchkeys group, the most probable cause for this appeared to be a lack of sufficient power from the USB port. I spent a good deal of time fiddling around with possible solutions -- plugging the USB cable into all sorts of ports, and f

In the meantime

God willing, I will be blogging more about Touchkeys in the coming days. In the meantime here is a a photographic interlude.

Images of Young Fawns

  Three fauns came to visit for the entire afternoon. Here are some inspirational reflections. '"Walk before Me and be perfect." (Gen. xvii. i.) Let everything recall to you the presence of God. If, for example, you go into the garden and see some flowers, ask one of them. What are you? It will not reply, I am a flower. No, but it will say to you, Ego vox - I am a preacher; I preach the power, the wisdom, the goodness, the beauty, the prudence of our great God. Imagine that the flower makes you this reply, and let it penetrate your heart and teach you a lesson of divine love.'
