    The computers are very similar in performance but the Air makes the preset change quickly while the mac mini very slowly.

    I want to buy a footswitch midi controller to use it with mac mini but it is not possible with this latency on preset change.

    I created a clean install of Mojave but the problem persists.

    Thanks
