First let's get our terminology straight.

"mm" is a measurement from one linear point to another, "millimeter".

Latency figures for MIDI softsynth and Audio Drivers are measured in milliSeconds, "mS" which is a unit of time.

1 mS = 1/1000th of a Second.

Now let's all understand what this man has in the way of his disclavier.

This is a PIANO that can appear to play itself when MIDI commands are sent to it. It uses internal motors driven by processor-controlled PWM amplifiers to actually pull keys down and really "play" the real acoustic piano. It is NOT a typical MIDI electronic keyboard.

That said, I would think that the problem with software such as RealBand is that the disclavier likely needs MORE time than the internal softsynths do, so I would be experimenting with the Latency setting inside RealBand and likely setting it to much higher numbers than those used for "normal" recording and such.
