Delay Compensation; Maximum Delay Compensation - Merging Pyramix User Manual

Delay Compensation

Delay Compensation Indicator
A small button labeled D on the right-hand side of the mixer adjacent to the Fader line indicates the current state
of delay compensation in the mixer:
green
A stable indicates that delays are compensated.
red
Stable indicates that delays are not compensated.
red
Blinking indicates that you need to adjust the maximum length of delay that can be compensated in order to
achieve proper compensation.

Maximum Delay Compensation

Pyramix sets a default value for the maximum number of samples of delay that can be compensated automati-
cally. As effects are added the required total delay value is calculated. If an Effect is instantiated that will exceed
this limit the Mixer error: Delay compensation dialog appears:
To deal with the problem either remove an effect or effects or go to Settings > All Settings > Project > Mixer >
Mixer Settings and increase the Max Mixer delay Compensation - Delay setting to a value slightly in excess of
that proposed in the dialog.
Note: Increasing the Delay value too much steals valuable memory from MassCore.
Outboard Latency
Typical latency in ms of outboard gear ranges from 2 to 5 ms. The following chart may help you to compute the
proper delay compensation values for outboard equipment:
