MIDI vs. CV-GATE latency

2005-10-24 by regimental1200

I own a Doepfer Schaltwerk and MCV24 MIDI-CV/GATE Converter.  From 
personal experience, whether I drive an analogue synth directly from 
the Schaltwerk or from the MCV24 which is receiving MIDI notes from 
the Schaltwerk, it does the same job, can't notice jack in terms of 
latency.
