Horrible MIDI Latency!! How to fix?

[nickgrimmer]

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to Cubase, and REALLY new to MIDI. I'm running Cubase 1.02 with a Tascam US-244. I have a MIDI keyboard that I've gotten extrememly low latency with using Reason (I think it's 5 ms or something...less than 20, anyways). However, in Cubase my latency is crap - I'm talking 1/2 second or more. Somebody suggested to me today to make sure I have the ASIO driver selected with my soundcard. I'm 99% sure that I do, but I think there might be multiple ones...if there are, I'll try switching when I get home. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is there a page somewhere in Cubase that you can adjust the latency? BTW, my audio latency is wonderful. Bottom line is, I know my equiptment is good enough to get very low latency, so it must be some setting somewhere that I just have not found out about yet...
Thanks for the help!!

Under devices check to see if your midi port show as emulated. If so this is probably the culprit.

Here is a link to the Steiny answer Emulated MIDI ports and MIDI port filter

lower the buffer size to around the 300/400 area range.

Hey Frank 1,
How would I go about doing that? I can't find anywhere in my setup that allows me to mess with the buffer settings...
thanks!

I don't know where the buffer settings would be on the Tascam. I have a Delta 44, Tascam is not gonna be the same. Sorry, I wouldn't know this...
