This is not true for me, ASIO works flawlessly with 3541, with 10ms on my machines. Not really as fast as possible, but stable. With 3534f, 5ms were possible.

When right clicking a file or folder, the HDD access spike will cause fb2k to stop playback, untill you are no longer using the file. also when playing back MIDI every 64th note will squeek

I have no such problems (WinXP). Maybe it is something specific to your system. Try disabling anti-virus software, etc, and see if it makes a difference (certain scan options can have a big impact on system performance, etc).

I haven't noticed any squeaking... Do you mean 1/64 notes, or the 64th note out of every 64 notes? If it is 1/64 notes, at what BPM setting? Maybe it is application specific, what are you using for MIDI playback?

Yes, but not everyone has a dedicated music workstation

I also have not such a problem - are you using some USB- i/o devices? Please check also your task manager for running processes/services. There should not run more than ~20 at the same time. Russ: A music workstation *should* not have any anti-virus software running at all...

The midi Squeak is every 64th note played it sqweaks, and i think the skipping problem is PCI latency related, but i have it set to 32. no anti virus or programs that scan files on opening. the midi playback programs are just old games such as ZDoom, and games in dosbos that use General Midi. so playback is standard.

Which device you are using for MIDI playback? kXSynth1 or 2 with soundfont "xy" or Windows built in software synth?

Okay - I will cross-check this.

EDIT: Tested MIDI with the kX-Synth1 and Creative 8MB SoundFont, on 3 different computers with different cards and with modified 3541 kX.sys - no problems so far - crystal clear sound.

Connect a peak plugin to FxBus 2/3 to verify that it is actually using the kX Synth(s).

i.e.
You mentioned old DOS games, which often used FM Synthesis, etc... I am not sure what ZDoom or dosbos uses, but it may be just doing some kind of emulation.

hm...
can you try to reset voice engine between 64 notes?
that is, open any sequencer, playback 70 notes - watch the kX Mixer's 'voice analyzer' - check if distortion happens during wraparound of the hardware voices

after that, playback, say, 35 notes, stop any audio/midi playback, reset voice engine (use kxctrl or kX Mixer -> console -- I don't remember the exact option, search the forum or run kxctrl without parameters - it will tell you how to reset hardware voices), after that, playback 35 notes - check if there was a problem with them

You do not necessarily need a sequencer. Any program that can play MIDI should work (i.e. Windows Media Player), and MIDI files can be found easily enough on the internet, if you do not already have some on your hard drive.
