I believe the latency has more to do with the sound card than the software. I use Cakewalk Sonar 3 software for my setup and when I tried using midi with the soundblaster sound card that came with my machine, the latency was easily 2 to 3 seconds. When I got the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 sound card, I was able to get the latency down to the 8 millisecond range with no dropouts. Newer sound cards/interfaces are able to go even lower. I suspect that with an upgraded soundcard/midi interface you can use the Cubase software you already have with good results. Good luck!

Which VST host software would you recommend for this? I tried Cubase SX 2.0 but there is a 2 second delay, so either I don't know how to activate real time or maybe the VST instruments I am trying aren't real time capable?
