Any updates on the midi latency issue? I’m reading a lot of fellow users with this issue. I’m also experiencing latency issues. I’m using the Morningstar MC8 with sensitivity set to 5 (so zero latency), yet when I switch the scenes on the Quad Cortex itself it goes immediately, however doing the sam…

I use an MC8 to switch scenes in QC and have not noticed any significant latency. I have noticed latency when using an expression pedal for a Wah. That has improved in recent QC updates, it use to be worse. But it still doesn’t track the way a Wah does.

That’s weird. Which CorOS are you on? When I switch scenes on the QC itself, it’s immediate, with the MC8 however there is noticeable delay, even though it’s in loopermode. I tried sensitivity 3,4 and 5 on the MC8, doesn’t seem to make any difference, where 5 should be 0 latency. I also let it switc…

Update on not being able to trigger scene B: I’ve managed to trigger scene B with a double tap function on the MC8, but the same button on the MC8 works perfectly with single tap in my page to trigger the looper of the QC. There’s definitely some weird midi communication going on inside the QC. Th…

I don’t want to sound rude, but there is no MIDI latency. There’s always some slight gap when switching presets in any MIDi device, and that is what some people confuse with latency. As someone wrote earlier, just try using an external midi switcher to change scenes, and you will not notice any gaps…

Thanks for the reply, but as I explained above, I am really talking about latency. When switching scenes on the QC itself with the footswitches, I have no latency, it happens immediately. However, when assigning them on my Morningstar MC8, using its footswitches, I have a very noticeable delay and w…

Understood. Maybe is time to contact tech support on both companies, maybe someone can figure it out. Or at least someone can confirm, or replicate your issue when using the 2 devices together. I will try one of my midi switchers as soon as I have a chance to see if a get the same problem. I do use…

@RexRemus has created a series of video tutorials on YT based on using the Morningstar controller with the QC. I think he’d be the resident expert, perhaps he could chime in here regarding the delay/gap/latency?

My personal experience tracks with @jamsden - EXP stuff can still be slow/laggy and seems to have a hard rate limit lower than what it should be (that has varied from release to release and I’ve made Neural aware of it) but scene/preset/whatever “general” messages - simple CC values are near enough …

Are you using any double tap action on the MC8 switch? This add latency. From the MC manual: Double Tap action If you have a double tap action programmed into your preset, this will add some latency, whether or not your Switch Sensitivity setting is set to 5 or whether you are in Looper Mode. This …
