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.

Mac, you are correct. I thought I had fully explained in a previous post what a disklavier is, (long story how I ended up with this amazing device) and why the delay is happening. I actually have already changed the latency settings (500ms) of the non-disklavier tracks and gotten everything to sync! The issue I have is saving this setting as a template so I don't have to make new settings every time I load a new song.(sorry I typod mm instead of ms - I know the difference! ;-) BTW, it's amazing watching the piano play live with recorded tracks! If anyone sends me MIDI files of piano performances, my piano will play them with keys and pedals going up and down, dynamics - the exact performance.

Is there a way to save settings for a song, then load in new song with old settings?
