Nord User Forum

Hi there, 
I'm using a Nord Wave with Ableton Live 9 and am running into a 3 to 4 second time delay when the Wave is playing back the midi information thru the "external instrument" in Ableton.
  It is Way more than milliseconds, which presumably I could modify with the "hardware latency" knob in the external instrument.

Recording audio into Ableton is fine, recording midi notes into Ableton is fine. After exhaustive Ableton research I feel like the problem might be on the Nord Wave end...

Can anyone offer enlightment?  
Btw local controls are Off and slot a and b are sent to channels 1&2 respectively--

If you know about midi setups, I'd appreciate any help so I could possibly get back to the music:)

All the best,
Stella

I never used Ableton, but I guess that this might be some delay or playback time offset in the Ableton track. You can check this by connecting any other midi kbd to the wave. If you do not hear any delay when the wave acts as slave, then Ableton settings are probably wrong.

It is the midi triggering the synth program of the wave I'm having trouble with. Staight midi is fine... Thanks for the reply tho!

Hi Stella,

Like Mr. G, I also have little Ableton knowledge, but it is really quite inconceivable that your Wave is causing a 3-4 second delay in responding to incoming midi data. You mention that "straight midi is fine." Midi is midi. Surely there is something in Ableton responsible for this delay in transmission.

Bless,
