ThumbJam Forum

Hi all, I believe we all will develop bigger more muscular thumbs thanks to this great app. But for now, did you notice that some instruments have a noticeable delay compared to others. I just observed it with my midi guitar connected via camera kit to iPad 4. compared it to other fast attack sounds, seems as extra 10 ms added by acoustic guitar. May be complexity of sound is the reason?

No, the reason is because some sounds like the acoustic guitar include some subtle content at beginning of the samples, in that case some pick noise. I'm not sure if including it is worth it, however, as it seems a shame to increase the apparent latency when the realism isn't improved that much.
