Doepfer

I know the following is probably an issue with my overall setup --
currently having a quesiton with cubase discussion groups. Though i
figure there most be some good midi expertise in this forum.

Still i figure i ask this forum as well.
**********************************
I'm experiencing delays with my Doepfer MAQ 16/3 during life
play/recording. There is always a very slight delay of the MIDI signal
from my [u]Doepfer sending midi[/u] signals [u]via the MOTU
microlite[/u] to the [u]VST plug-in of my VIRUS TI [/u](delay is about
1/64 or so). When I record the doepfer sequence the midi actually gets
recorded properly onto the midi track. 

Also when I replay these recordings they replay on my Virus TI exact. 

Seams there is some latency introduced when I play live and [u]route
[/u]my midi signal [u]via my MIDI hub [/u]directly to the [u]Virus TI
vst/plug-in.[/u]

Also when I route that same Doepfer midi signal to, for example, any
Reason instruments (Thor, etc.) it plays wwithout  delay (whether live
or recorded midi).

I tried the entire routine of placing the >>>ignoreportfilter<<<  in
the cubase program folder (incl. disabling emulated ports),[u] at no
avail.[/u]

Any suggestion on how to resolve this midi latency? This slight delay
effectively makes my Doepfer not usable.
