I have a number of hardware synths, and most of them have a latency of about 4-6ms - which is for all practical purposes, none.

I believe the Ketron SD2 has the best reputation, but I don't have one so I can't confirm.

I have an array of a half dozen sound modules and a couple of hardware samplers.

A lot of people are going to software synths, and I think that is affecting the hardware market. But I don't think they are ready for me yet - too much latency, too much CPU usage, and that limits how many I can mix together. And when I do mix them, each seems to have a different degree of latency, so they don't work together.

If I were to buy one today, I'd check out the ketron and buy it from a place where I could return it if I didn't like it.
