The real question is, with an FP-7 and its fantastic Roland GM2 hardware synth with modeling built into it, why are you messin' around with DXi software synths and ASIO4ALL?

Connect the MIDI part of the FP-7 to the computer using the USB cable. Do this *before* starting up BiaB.

Connect the L and R Line Outputs of the FP-7 to the L and R Line Inputs of your sound device. (Note: if you are using a laptop that has no Line Input, as many of them don't, you should look into a decent aftermarket USB sound device that does have Line Inputs on it).

Inside BB, in the MIDI/Audio selection window, select the FP-7 by highlighting it in the LH pane. Select the FP-7 as Output as well in the RH pane.

UNCHECK the "Use DXi" there.

Now, using nothing more than MME or Windows sound drivers, you have the best of all worlds available, the very rich sounding FP-7 synth, plus near-ZERO latency. That is because your CPU is no longer also being tasked with generating the MIDI sounds, that happens with the CPU inside the Roland. Of course, you could then use ASIO sound drivers as well, if you like, but the latency problem will be eliminated no matter what sound drivers used.
