arcade buttons sensitivity

Hi to every dj techtoolers
for my first post i’d rather than speak about music but i’ve a problem with the arcade buttons sensitivity
compairing to the impressive ean’s videos demos my buttons are way less reactive
could it comes from
1 bad soldering of the buttons?
2 standard usb cable that’s not capable of transmit the midi cc fast enough?
3 Why bother anyway imitate ean, there’s only one
… ?
any suggestion and advice would be useful
thanks for the support

Hi and welcome to the site!:slight_smile:

I could imagine that the latency of your soundcard/driver is set high.

What is the latency set to in traktor (My system isn’t up at the moment but I think it is under options sound device or something similar)?

Yeah that is most likely it. It is under audio setup. The default setting is around 30ms I believe, which is way too high.

i’ll try that currently the buffer is set to 4ms i’ll try to lower it thanks guys

4ms is low … my audio 8 will go no lower than 5.5ms and my arcade buttons are super reactive :slight_smile:

that’s what i thought may be it’s too low that’s why the cc are not properly transmited?
btw my setup : macbook core 2 duo with 4go of ram (but i don’t think that the problem lies there)
may be also the arcade buttons are not well in contact with the holes of the top of the vci ? but when i press one without any rush they respond always well that wouldn’t be the case if there was poor contact no ?

Silly question but is “Quantize” on? This will limit the reaction to the set beat.

you probably right pilmant, this is what i thought too

indeed it was quantize that caused the lack of sensitivity thanks guys
