Yes, I am quite obsessed. Now I ∗MUST∗ improve the lag.

And I have already used some thread prioritization which has now reduced MIDI lag from about 50mS down to 25mS.

I also see some major improvements in the keyboard scanning code (the existing scanner is AWFUL!). I will spend the next couple of weeks rewriting that.

Then, I see numerous ways in which to squeeze the lag down even further than that. Code optimization for speed along with improvements over korg's original note event handling which was written to fit into the limited ROM space so they were not able to make it very speed efficient.

Who knows, I might be able to make the HAWK respond faster than the original. Now wouldn't that be something!

Cheers all,

Mike
