What is throttling?

Question

What does it do exactly? Does it have to do with how fast midi messages are sent to a synth?

Answer 1

Find the Throttle under Config -> MIDI.

What Does Throttle Do?

The throttle adds a delay in between sends if more than a certain number of MIDI messages is sent. In version 1.6.5 the delay looks like this:

• Max messages before delay: 5
• Sleep between batches: throttle (1-15) times 10 milliseconds.

So, a throttle of level 2 will delay 20ms between every 5 messages.

Note: Throttle only works for Batch sends, which include send-all and preset-sends. Presets for groups are not included.
