Hello Drumsix

thank your for the information, it makes sence, I don't know how to 
change the Midi buffer but I'll give it a shot. You are absolutely 
right about the "slow thing". If I play slow, the sound cuts off right 
away.

about the monitoring, can I do in some other way without hearing it?
(even if I just record the midinotes, the "glitch come" and destroyes 
the recording)

can you play with a good latency that stills give you a "drum 
feeling"? cuz I cant possible play with sounds hearing afterward I hit 
the pads..

I will check out the buffer!
