There
has been much confusion regarding MIDI latency
and it all can be traced back to a misprint about
MIDI timing in an old article of Keyboard Magazine.
With all electronic instruments
there is a measurable degree of latency, a delay
between when you tell the instrument to do something
and when it actually does it. That measurement,
however, is incredibly small. While Audio latency
is measured in term of Milliseconds, MIDI latency
is usually measured in terms of nanoseconds.
Now that's not to say that there
can not be any delay in using a MIDI setup. Some
synthesizers are inherently slower than others in
producing sound. Some synthesizers patches are designed
with a slow attack, as well.
