i´ve got some problems with my max 4.5 on windows xp (SP 2).

when iam running sampler patches wich uses the poly~ objekt

(or other patches like nobuyasu sakodna granular 2.5)

there are some dropouts and clicks - but the cpu utilities is not more 

i was installing asio4all but there was no changes at all. actually i 

512 io vectorsize/ 64 signal vectorsize - i tryed larger buffersizes but 

and even with my m-audio fasttrackpro audiointerface ive got that kind 

any recommendation or experience with that?

of problems...

The update from 4.5 to 4.6 was free, if i remember well... Why do you 

Regarding your problem, clicks usually happens when VS is too low (i.e 

64 is not good with asio4all on my box), especially when using granular 

stuff. But it seems you already set higher VS... Do you have these

The update from 4.5 to 4.6 was free, if i remember well... Why do you 
still use the old one ?

Regarding your problem, clicks usually happens when VS is too low (i.e 
64 is not good with asio4all on my box), especially when using granular 
stuff. But it seems you already set higher VS... Do you have these 
problems with other audio applications ?

no, it mostly happens with granular patches and specially with a small 

but there are also dropouts (of +- 0.5 sec) in a 5 sec range.

i dont get it. the clicks and dropouts also appear within the 

examples. exactly the same problem on an other win xp mashine also with 

could it depend on the samples wich are loaded? some of them work pretty 

with a lot of clicks (in example polyanticlick- its the "vibes-a1.aif"

i dont get it. the clicks and dropouts also appear within the 
polyanticlick-patch of the sampling-
examples. exactly the same problem on an other win xp mashine also with 
the polyanticlick-patch.
could it depend on the samples wich are loaded? some of them work pretty 
well, while others played
with a lot of clicks (in example polyanticlick- its the "vibes-a1.aif" 
and the "cello-f2.aif" sample).

I/0 and S VS don't have to be different, unless you need very short delays with feedback. Try 256/256 or 2048/2048 for example.

Also, it's difficult to know if the problem comes from your Max program or from your computer configuration. Perhaps you can post your Max program here... Personaly I don't even have Max 5 but most people here do.

Also, I don't know about the M-Audio fsttkpr, but at least the cheap Edirol UA-1EX that I bought by error (actually, because of someone on this forum) gives worse results than using the built-in sound card with the asio4all driver.
