Greg McGuirk Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 I'm considering purchasing a Roli Seaboard 2. I'm intrigued by MPE, but haven't really done any research on it. Is Sonar able to handle the kind of data it puts out? Is it just a ton of pitch, CC & aftertouch data or is there other info? Thanks in advance for sharing any insights or experience with it. greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a good quality MIDI interface with a good size MIDI buffer size. What MIDI I/F are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using the midi ports from my RME RayDat card. I also have a motu micro express. I would think either of them can handle a lot of data like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a reasonably powerful PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a beast when I bought it, but it's a few years old now (& still going strong! Gotta love Studio Cat machines!) i7-6850K CPU @ 3.60GHz w/ 64 GB RAM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
