I've used Cakewalk Pro Audio since version 2. I'm now
up to ver. 9 and it's the best yet. Super-stable on my
PC and "next to nothing" latency.
I've been using an Intel P200MMX with 96Mb RAM for the
last 2 years and have found no problems. Recently
upgraded to AMD K6-2 500 and still solid as a rock.

Some points to note:

I have found no discernable differences in DirectX
performance between AMD and Intel.

Active Sensing -a method used by one MIDI device to
see if another MIDI device has dropped the connection.
A bit like continually PINGing a network connection to
keep it alive. Active sensing can be filtered out by
Cubase/Cake/Logic etc. but should have no audible
effect on a MIDI stream.

Any audible artifacts such as glitches on Ch.10 might
be visible in a MIDI analyser. Mute all other channels
and then use the analyser to see what's coming in. If
there's nothing there, then you're looking at either a
sequencer problem or a soundcard glitch. If the
DTXpress was at fault, I guess we'd all be complaining
about it by now....
