I think the two outputs def. gives you an edge, it certainly would seem that it doubles the total bytes that can flow out at once. After that, a MIDI interface does wonders, as opposed to daisy chaining or other weird setups.... Worst case scenario you can take apart a MIDI cable and I believe it's pins 4 and 5 that are 0 & 1 (on and off) and you can solder 'two' jumpers to each one, thereby doubling the output capacity of that cable. Also, if you're doing filter sweeps and tons of realtime CC messages, perhaps try using a sampler for those riffs. You can always look at your event list, compare it to the time in seconds and mathmatically figure out if you're trying to put too much MIDI down the MIDI hole, but that's a pain in the arse. if you're getting flamming and things of that nature, you most likely need to bounce some stuff to audio, or have fewer events. I used to be in a Live PA and we struggled with this all the time, esp. the syncing of audio loops together with MIDI, this is a wonderful topic, because as tight as you can get, most people I've seen still have a little flam going on, mostly when using several sequencers together.
