Hi Martin, What has been happening is this... If i don't have any midi device connected to my computer and i just open up the midiOut port to send data to the wave table synth ( 'Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth' to be exact) there seems to be an unreliable amount of latency from when I call midiOutShortMsg or midiStreamOut and when I hear the sound from the speakers. This can be up to about 500 ms. What do you mean by the KMixer?
