happy new year all! i got a midi controler keyboard and am using hs2002. the controler uses usb or midi in/outs when using usb latency is terrable. if i get a midi interface will it reduce latency for realtime soft synth performance.i
 
Welcome Tom. Great to have you on the board.

Most MIDI interfaces I have seen either use USB or Serial interface. I have found them to be MORE than adequate as MIDI is a serial protocol by its nature and these interfaces should not be able to bottleneck them. USB has more bandwidth by far than the original serial MIDI interfaces that sufficed for the first couple of decades of the MIDI spec - and that I used with no latency with versions of Cakewalk dating back to Version 1.0 for DOS.

It may be a better idea to check the setup options in HS2002. Somewhere in there, you should find something to help you. I am not sure if the latency settings that are used for digital audio also affect MIDI, but that might be a place to start? Maybe one of the other HS2002 users could help you specifically in that regard?

Good luck.
