Thanks everyone for your help!

I am still stuck, however. When I hit a key on the keyboard, I hear the crappy piano sound with a slight delay (maybe 100 milliseconds) no matter what settings I use for the Forte synth. I can record a MIDI track successfully, and I can change the sound being played back to whatever I want using the Forte control panel (DirectX VST window).

It does not matter what sound I select in RealBand for the track (using the Track/right click/Program menu item).

This has got to be a simple problem but it's really got me stumped.

a. How do I either get rid of or adjust the delay between a key press and sound coming out of the computer when I am playing the keyboard "live"? (I have tried editing the "Visual Delay" and "Audio Delay" settings in the MIDI Driver Setup window and these settings do no have any effect on the delay I am hearing. For example, I can set these to 2000 milliseconds, and the delay stays constant at about 100 milliseconds.)

b. How can I make a different sound come out of the computer when I am playing the keyboard "live"?

See attached screenshots.

Thanks again for any insight on potential fixes!
