Hi, my setup consists of Studiologic SL88 Grand which acts as master keyboard, on top I have a Nord electro 6D. Sometimes I also have my Kurzweil PC4 with me in different sets. I change the program from SL88. In a rack that I am working on, I have encountered problems. I have two plugins, Arturi…

Found the solution to my problem. I first tried changing the drivers for the sound card but the blips persisted. When I then played directly on the Kurzweil PC4, the sound was clear and clean. But when I played through the SL88 Grand, the blips were there. Since I had received tips about USB mid…

What operating system do you use? When the problem start happening? Was it working before?

Windows 10 and steinberg UR816C.

Haven’t had these tendencies before. My laptop is powerful. Have only driven with Steinberg’s drivers and have never experienced any problems. I have low latency etc., by default 256. Will try these you recommend after work.

How dit you connect your PC4? Via USB or via 5pin MIDI? If you use USB, maybe going the oldschool way (5pin) might help?

Windows has had an update, otherwise nothing has changed. I used to have PC4 as master keyboard before I bought Studiologic SL88 Grand and Mixface. Now I got to the point where I once again needed to use PC4 in the set, then this happened.

You can try to uninstall recent updates: How to uninstall a Windows update - Microsoft Support – (Windows Updates are famous for breaking stuff, but it seems that macOS also started to follow that route :slight_smile: )

Together with the purchase of the Studiologic SL88 Grand, I have started running all the machines via USB. Used oldschool 5pin midi cable before this. So I will also test this. Must take everything in steps so you know what you have fixed.

Is GP by any chance recognizing your PC4 as an audio interface?

Midi problem?
