Hmmm ... what type of audio interface are using and does it have ASIO drivers? If you are using standard Windows drivers with an onboard soundcard you will get about that much latency. 
 
What you are hearing as you tweak your knobs could have actually been buffered for several hundred millisecs.
 
If you don't have a fancy, schmantzy interface, you can download Wunsch's ASIO4All. It is free and it gives you the ability for super low latency if you aren't using softsynths or a lot of plugins in your DAW since sequencing midi puts very little load on your computer.

i've felt the CS makes a great Ableton/Kontakt controller since it throws CC's, etc
But is it me and just my PC's and/or interface... but is there latency there for you also?
I mean i've tried with the Motu Ultralite, Emu Midi X 2x2, and Native Audio 8 cards,
and it seems as if the CS is about a whole whole note step behind sometimes on knob movements. 
Twisting a knob sometimes is really when it shows.  In Ableton it's more apparent thank Kontakt because
I think Ableton is a bit bloated and requires more CPU usage.  It's definately not instant like hardware. 

Is it the CS or my old ass computers?  I've tweaked the latency in my interfaces software and it's all the same accept
for less and more dropouts.   Anyone else feel there is something to be desired or is it just me?
This is where I think the Command Station excels.
