Buffer size & latency
Pick the right buffer for your setup, and what the numbers mean.

Latency is the time between touching a pad and hearing a note. It depends on the connection and, with Skaleton Sound, on the audio buffer.
Typical latency per connection
USB: about 1–3 ms
WiFi: about 5–15 ms
Bluetooth: about 10–30 ms
Buffer size in Skaleton Sound
A smaller buffer feels tighter but asks more of the iPad. If you hear clicks or stutter, raise the buffer one step. If it feels sluggish, lower it.
Open Settings → Audio.
Choose a buffer size. 256 is a good start.
Play fast repeated notes and listen for clicks.
Tip: these figures are typical, not promises. Older iPads and busy WiFi will add a bit.
