Latency with an uneven number

[talrusher]

hallo,

if i set the latency to an uneven numer, like 41, i became a debug info on display or something... there are blocks, this looks like gain or signal or something.

what is this?

Changes in version 20100126:

...
2. Added signal 'pre-burst'. If signal on an input is higher then Threshold/2, MegaDrum starts a short burst. If the level doesn't reach Threshold, the burst is cancelled without producing a result. You can see an effect of the pre-burst if Latency set to an odd value - when a pad is hit lightly but not enough to exceed Threshold level the VU meter for the pad set to a maximum but no MIDI signal is sent and the LED stays off.

dont understand it. maybe my english is too bad for...

for what can i use this function?

[dmitri]

This is to help to tune Thresholds. If a VU meter shows a full signal without hitting a pad and without a MIDI signal produced then Threshold for the pad is set too low.

wow... kewl. really nice thing...

...thats why i really love my megadrum!
