midi latency

Cubase
#1

Hi all,

I seem to be getting a lot of latency only when using my midi controller keyboard.

The device setup says that I have an input latency of 3.878 ms and an output latency of 5.986 ms. I’m using an audio interface over firewire, and my keyboard is attached to that interface via a midi cable.

When I play a guitar DI into the interface I can hear the guitar on my monitors almost immediately. But when I play a note on my midi controller keyboard, it takes more than a quarter of a second for the sound to come out of my monitors.

Changing my buffer size does not seem to help.

Any help is appreciated!!
