Hello,
We would like to use the nice dadamachine for live drumming with an Akai MPC
Is it possible to have an idea of the latency (in ms) between a midi signal which would come from USB or MIDI DIN and the beginning or the end of the solenoid action you are selling ?
many thanks !

@benjamin I did not measure the roundtrip exactly but the latency for direct hits > without mallet mechanic is around 10ms i think. Depending on your setup > distance of the object to the striker it goes up.
So probably you will notice a delay if you have samples and robotic action at the same time.
Moritz from sonicrobots wrote some general information about the topic in this post: http://learning.sonicrobots.com/2012/05/04/a-latency-control-concept-for-midi-driven-mechanic-robotic-instruments/
Maybe someone out there tried it with a MPC already. I don’t own one currently.
ok thanks @johannes for the infos, looks good
If anyone have feedbacks of live drumming with any midi controller, I would be curious
