nected more than one audio interface.

latEnCy
MacOS®X: This slider allows you to adjust the latency of
your audio interface in samples. Lower values result in a
more immediate playing response but are heavier on both
the CPU and the audio driver, and may result in audible
clicks and pops. Larger values are easier on the CPU, but
introduce a larger latency (i.e. there may be a very small
delay between when you hit a pad and when you actually
hear it). You should therefore experiment with this setting
so that it is as low as possible without overloading your
CPU or introducing any audio artifacts.
Windows®: When using an ASIO driver on the Audio and
MIDI Settings dialog shows an ASIO Cong button instead
of the Latency slider. Click this button to open the settings
dialog of the selected ASIO driver.
