Pulsar XTC latency

Is there VST plugin that can destroy latency of 61ms??? I work with Pulsar XTC without IO board. I have Terratec EWS 88 MT for audio output where it's possible to minimize latency to 2ms, but CPU go crazy.Anyone can help me????

use pulsar mode.it's better.you can use xtc for mixdown.vst has latency by it's very design.

I don't think he can use Pulsar mode. With Pulsar XTC mode latency is <b>entirely</b> dependant upon the ASIO drivers of the card with the I/Os...

my bad,yes i see!well, that's what the extra $ are worth.still, don't be disappointed.there is much work that can be done w/vst's.maybe use another hardware synth for realtime,(working out the line) then,since playback latency is not an issue,(your sequencer should be able to compensate) you can set up the sound in xtc. this is pretty much the state of vst's.

Or get a different I/O card with lower ASIO latencies.. or add an I/O plate to your XTC board.. both of these cost more $ though. And garyb has some excellent advice about using something else (external synth?) to record the midi (to avoid latency entirely), then changing it to a (similiar sounding?) VSTi afterwords.
