<< Then again, if a synth (like the KORG PROPHECY) can make amazing sounds
 based on Fourier Transforms and Physical Modeling, which takes some decent
 chip power, why would it be slow to respond to byte data that i would send
 directly to the synth's CPU I/O?  >>

Look how long it takes the Prophecy just to switch from patch to the next,
that appears (who can say for sure ...)  to be quite a chore for its CPU.  

Perhaps processing parameter changes and different notes is straining the 
CPU just a tad as well?
