Yes - the controller works perfectly with the other software I've tested it with (Ableton Live, Max/MSP, MIDI-OX) > > tried different command line arguments to find something that could > > speed things up and I managed to get quick midi input through the > > [ctlin] object, if I used -noaudio.

Thanks for the link, I'll look into it! But this is not a general Win XP problem for me, it's a Pd problem. As I wrote, other programs work fine, no latency at all. When I only use the midi system of Pd it works fine. But when I use both the audio and midi system in Pd, there is delay in incoming midi.
