That did the trick. Unfortunately it is showing the age of my system in the music room. Either it's my old dual core Pentium (1.8mhz) or the cheap usb-midi cable I have but there is a latency delay that would make it unusable for edrumming. It's only a few milliseconds but it's enough to screw up my already amateurish drumming skills. I think I need zero latency like I have when listening through the DM10 module.
The term "zero latency" is a myth
. Many companies advertise their products with it, but it's a matter of physics that this could be valid only *within* their boxes, not in a whole digital audio system with such boxes, cables, computers, loudspeakers etc. etc. Some milliseconds of latency are ok, because the human ear can't distinguish between them.
USB cables, even cheap ones, don't have much influence on the latency. Either they work or you would note other problems, like connection break-offs.
If you haven't, try an external audio device instead of the onboard audio of your PC (we have some threads about them in the forum).
