How well does Receptor work with V Drums?
For instance I have Ra and Colossus and I'd like to be able to play the percussion/drums in Ra and Colossus Live. Is this a sturdy, latency free system for this purpose?
I tried this with an iBook G4 and there was some latency, which wasn't improved by reducing the HW buffer size. Also CPU spikes occurred as my playing got busier.
Receptor with V Drums - anyone using this combination?

what were you using for a soundcard on your live ibook setup?

I found the same thing on a Powerbook - I set up a great drum environment in Logic with DrumKitFromHell and Wizoo Plat drums, but the FW410 interface would glitch with lots of playing, unfortunately.

The soundcard is an FW410.
Are you saying the glitching is due to a problem with the soundcard? I'm not sure about that because the glitching coincides with Logic's CPU meter going high.
The latency however (which is occurring at HW buffer size of 256 - this shoudn't normally happen with MIDI at this setting), was a mystery. It's only happening with Colossus (Kompakt). With EXS24 there is no Latency when played from the V Drums.

In my case, yes. The CPU is okay, but lots of notes kinda choke the FW410 resulting in glitches. Annoying, but I've come to expect disappointing behaviour from the 410, me and it have history.
