Audio setup

Audio setup is the only technical hurdle you should solve before making your first beat.

​

Output device

Start with the system default output device unless you already know you need something else. In Settings, Meiji Sampler exposes:

• audio host
• output device
• buffer size
• sample rate
• input device
• input channel

​

Buffer size

Meiji Sampler supports these buffer sizes:

• 64
• 128
• 256
• 512
• 1024

Recommended starting point:

• 64 if you want the lowest possible latency and your machine can handle it
• 256 if your machine is reasonably fast and you want tighter response
• 512 if you want a safer default

If you hear crackles, underruns, or glitching, move up to 512 or 1024.

​

Sample rate

Available sample rates:

• 44100 Hz
• 48000 Hz
• 88200 Hz
• 96000 Hz

Recommended starting point:

• 44100 Hz for most users
• 48000 Hz if it matches the rest of your setup

Higher rates use more CPU. If playback is unstable, increase your buffer size before reaching for a lower sample rate.

​

Linux audio hosts

On Linux, the audio host can be:

• Auto
• ALSA
• JACK

If Auto is unstable, try ALSA. If you already run a JACK setup, use JACK.

​

Input setup

If you want to sample external audio or use the recording feature:

1. choose the correct input device in Settings
2. select the input channel or stereo pair you want to record
3. test monitoring before starting a real take
