Zero-latency plugins - list

Thought this list of zero-latency plugins could help especially beginners to Gig Performer to minimize the overall latency in their setup, if they are using fx plugins.
In my live setup, including a Presonus Studio 26c audio/midi interface and all connections over USB C, the responce is mostly like touching a real hardware.

And maybe there are other zero-latency plugins to complete this list? :wink:

impressive work, thank you very much for sharing :smiley:

does it makes a difference if the audio is connected or not, if checking for latency ?
(seems not what i see)

On a quick check.
Plugins i like, with reported 0 samples latency ( audio is connected):

EQ:
Fabfilter Pro-Q

Reverb:
Liquid Sonics: “Seventh Heaven professional”*

Compressor:
Unfiltered Audio: “Zip”*

Frequenzy Shifter:
Tonsturm: “Freq Shift”*

Delay / Delay-Reverb:
Surreal Machines: (both, very “Dub” orientated")
“Diffuse” , “Modnetic”

Creative/Granular Delay:
Audiority: “Grain Space”

Creative/Resonator:
Tritik: “Moodal”

(*) these are NOT Mac ArmNative ready right now / 7th Heaven Pro has a public beta though / the others should be from what i just gathered by quickly opening a ARMnative GP instance

Curious – with your Presonus sound card, what buffer size and sample rate do you use?

The sound board has nothing to do with the latency a plugin is generating within itself.

I realize that. But I run an old FireWire card and you mentioned you have a USB-C sound card. I am just wondering what buffer size and sample rate you run with.

44,1 kHz and buffer 512 samples.
The timing feels the same or a bit better than the korg kronos I’ve owned and used before.

Interesting. I find 512 far too “soft”. I can mostly get away with 256 but I generally stick to 128

Hmm. I will try a smaller buffer tomorrow. Maybe this will be FAR better than the korg kronos? :melting_face:

Just a short mention, ot doesnt matter if audio is plugged or not. Open a plugin, leave it unconnected and you will stoll get its latency when hovering the mouse over it.

Yes :slight_smile:

Very cool - here is a list on my PC I came up with, but without any of my Waves plugins yet.

Cool, but you could also create the list in the written form :slight_smile:
(so it is more likely for someone to find the thread using search engines)

Would be nice to be able to export the plugins as a list… :grin:

Until Plugins in Use arrives, here’s what can be done in v4.5.8 :slight_smile:
