MIDI IN Keyboard Delay

[dzy88p]

I have a Roland MIDI keyboard going into MMV and when I play the external keyboard there is a delay of about one-fourth to one-eighth of a second before I hear the sound.  It does not occur when I play the MMV keyboard.  My MIDI cable is not too long and I have set the MMV to emulate a quick, percussive attack.

This in unacceptable for performance.  Any ideas of what I can do to fix this problem?  I thought for sure somebody else here would have encountered this problem.

Thanks!

Sounds like sound card latency. What are you using as a soundcard and what as a MIDI interface? Is this using MgV stand-alone or in a host? If stand-alone, which drivers do you have selected?

Crstal WDM/Legacy
Edirol interface
Standalone

I haven't tried lowering the latency setting.  Will that help?

Well yesterday the whole program just disappeared?!?!?  The window came up but it was totally white, no cabinet display.  Hmmmm....

Anyway I reloaded the software and then downloaded the update from this website.

I had noticed before I lost the program that latency was set at 99ms.  I set it to about 50ms and everything seems to be working fine now.

So now I'm not sure if there was a software problem, or if it just needed the update, or if it was just the latency setting.

Oh, well, I'm happy now!
