I now realize that, as others have found, the stutter happens when the song reaches the bottom of the page and refreshes. That is why it happens at the same place every time. It doesn't happen with midi styles and is worse with Real Styles.

I'm afraid I am a little confused by this talk of latency and buffer - are they the same. I cannot find any mention of buffer in the midi options menu. Can someone walk me through what is being recommended to solve the problem. I am using an external hard synth and MME audio, if that makes any difference.

I am playing at a Xmas party this weekend and need to solve this problem immediately.

Thanks
Tony
