LATENCY ISSUES for PC USERS? HERE'S YOUR ANSWER...

    Strike information is getting from your pad into your computer in about 1 thousandth of 1 second after you hit your pad with a stick.
    The lag is what is going on when the Virtual Brain tries pushing sound out to your computer's audio jack. It's like a river is flowing
    but then it has to go through a straw to get out.  The way to fix this is to use a better driver, such as ASIO4ALL.  It opens up the
    pipeline. Download ASIO4ALL and install for free. Some people buy an audio interface to improve their PC's audio capabilities as well,
    but ASIO4ALL does a great job without one.

    Here is what to do about your outputs if they don't show up in the Virtual Brain driver window after you install ASIO4ALL:
       - Go to File>MIDI Setup in the Virtual Brain and make sure both Microsoft devices are unchecked under Output Devices
       - Go to the audio/pad setup window in the Virtual Brain and click the 'Audio Control Panel' button to open up the ASIO4ALL control panel
       - Click on the Wrench for Advanced Settings
       - Double Click the name of your interface under WDM Device List
       - Click a few times on the 'Out' listing that opens up in the list in order to toggle it from 'Not Connected' to 'Active'
       - Now the outputs are available in the Virtual Brain

SOFTWARE AND CONNECTIVITY SUPPORT:

       Because your Mandala pad circuitry is MIDI compliant its driver is a component of your computer's operating system. For this reason it is
       not necessary to reinstall your Mandala software if your Mandala pad is not showing up in your driver window.

       If your Mandala pad does not show up in the driver window of your Virtual Brain or Beauty software please do the following:

       - Make sure neither the Virtual Brain nor The Beauty application is running.
       - Disconnect the USB cable from your Mandala pad.

       - Mac users: Open Audio MIDI Setup located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder and click on MIDI Devices. Plug the USB cable
       back into your Mandala pad and verify that it shows up in the MIDI Devices window. If not, disconnect and reconnect the pad again. Please
       refrain from pushing the cable into the pad with excessive force.

       - PC Users: Open Device Manager (get there by right clicking on My Computer and choosing Properties). Plug the USB cable back into
       your Mandala pad and verify that 'USB Audio Device' shows up under 'Video Game and Sound Controllers' in the Device Manager. If not,
       disconnect and reconnect the pad again. Please refrain from pushing the cable into the pad with excessive force.

       - Once the pad is recognized by your system please open up your Mandala applications and begin your setup.

    *** If your pad is unplugged while one of the Mandala applications is running you will need to quit the application and reconnect the pad before continuing.
