I use a laptop, and want a low latency sampler. I have bee reading some topics here. It seems that the samples a loaded on the system RAM, but I have read also, that "can be used without ASIO", so, I understand that come directly from the RAM through the pci bus.
Well, what sampler playing latency?, 3ms, 5ms 10ms? Give me a number,
Depend this latency the same way that the sofware sampler based? (cpu use, programs loaded)
Also, anyone knows if would be as fast using a Magma chasis? (pci to pcmcia)
What formats can STS load? akai? giga?

STS loads Akai fore sure, not sure about Giga. Latency will be pretty low, lower than anything having to go thru ASIO/WAV drivers.

The STS samplers are a bit tweaky tho, some versions have phasing problems (fixable with some small custom devices, but annoying) and the interface isn't too hot. Setting up the envelopes + filter settings + volume settings to have a nice proper loud output can be fairly annoying too. But they work once they're setup right.
