Java sequencer loops with a delay if connected to external Midi out device












0















I want to loop a Midi sequence using the Java sequencer and its setLoopCount() method.



If sequencer's output is connected to an external Midi out device, there is a noticeable lag introduced each time sequence loops over.



If sequencer's is connected to the internal Java synth (Gervill) I don't notice any delay between loops. I tried with different loop points, it does not change the problem. I'm using Win10/Java 8.



  sequencer = MidiSystem.getSequencer(false);
sequencer.open();
Sequence sequence = MidiSystem.getSequence(midiFile);
sequencer.setSequence(sequence);

// outDevice=Java synth (Gervill)
// or
// outDevice=Edirol UA-25 (USB)
Receiver outDeviceReceiver = outDevice.getReceiver();
Transmitter seqTransmitter = sequencer.getTransmitter();
seqTransmitter.setReceiver(outDeviceReceiver);

int startLoopTick = 0;
int endLoopTick = -1; // Loop at end of sequence
sequencer.setLoopStartPoint(startLoopTick);
sequencer.setLoopEndPoint(endLoopTick);
sequencer.setLoopCount(Sequencer.LOOP_CONTINUOUSLY);

// if outDevice==Edirol there is a slight delay between loops
sequencer.start();

  • This sounds like a bug in your particular Java implementation.

  • I use Oracle JDK 8 for Win10 x64. Is there alternatives ?
