Elektron Musical Instruments

I was so impressed with my MD I decided to buy (after a month of deliberation and 
intense financial juggling) the SIDstation.  
I can understand if people aren't into this synth as it has such a distinct rasping 
(Marmite) quality to it. It is more of a "bull in a china shop" compared to the MD which 
is a cross between Mr. Miyagi and The Terminator.  but since It arrived yesterday  the 
sounds have so far been nothing but inspiring. 
I am slowly going through the manual at the moment and am really interested in the 
possibilities of the Wavetable but until then.... one little question......

I seem to be having latency issues even when the SID is plugged directly into a midi 
keyboard. Is this part of the SID's "charm" or can it be rectified? I get the impression 
that alot of people sample the output and rather than playing it live.
thanks
