Changing the MIDI latency compensation value

You can change the MIDI latency compensation value to correct any discrepancy between when you press keys during MIDI recording and where the corresponding notes are notated relative to the beat.

Procedure

  1. Press Ctrl/Cmd-, to open Preferences.
  2. Click Play in the category list.
  3. In the Recording subsection, change the value for MIDI input latency compensation.
  4. Click Apply, then Close.

Result

Increasing the latency compensation value increases the time between pressing the key and the note being notated. This is useful if the notes you record were previously notated ahead of the beat.

Decreasing the latency compensation value decreases the time between pressing the key and the note being notated. This is useful if the notes you record were previously notated behind the beat.
