Hi all. This query follows on from my previous post, "Editable Notation Mode - deleting notes" which wandered off topic. (my fault)

Here's the problem. Someone kindly explained that when using Editable Notation Mode it is possible to use the qwerty keyboard to record a rhythm, and then edit the note pitches.

The problem is that there is a delay between hitting the key, and getting the sound.

I'm using a laptop with onboard sound - which I think is Conexant - and no external devices. I dont know whats doing the midi synth - I guess some software somewhere.

I cant quite get my head round the technology here. I think that I'm creating a Midi track, and the delay occurs either because the midi synthesiser or its drivers are inadequate or incorrectly set, or the soundcard or its drivers arent right.

I've tried ASIO4ALL drivers, (which apparantly arent ASIO) but then I lose sound completely in BiaB, tho' all other sound still works. TRied turning off Win sounds, but no difference.

I also tried all sort of settings but no result. If I revert to MME settings, (which apparantly is WDM), I'm back where I started. Sound, but delayed.

If it turns out my kit is inadequate, well fair enough. Its just hard to believe its that tough to create a "realtime" MIDI track without latency.

If anyone can figure this out I'd be very grateful.
