Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I'll just say that I echo Ed's notes about the system though, 
basically more ram the better!... I too am running a 1ghz right now 
but my ram just went from 3something(I hate that 1024 stuff and I'm a 
computer nerd!) to 768mb and also switched to a Gina card.. BUT I was 
using it before (this is with Cubase mind you) and I didin't notice 
midi lag but as you can tell from previos post I might not be the 
best to judge timing ;)  Seriously though the midi stuff is right on 
for me and I was using the built in sound card and a midi adapter 
through the game port.  Cubase has some settings for adjusting 
latency of midi vs audio.. maybe this is where your problem is 
comming from?  I've even run some VSTi's over the network via FX-
Teleport ( www.fx-max.com ) and was supprised that it all synced up 
rather well.

Try looking for settings like that and if you still can't get it let 
me know.  I have a buddy that uses Sonar and he knows his shit and 
probably knows what the answer is.  He's the guy letting me use the 
Gina, he now has a kickass Motu!
