The latency/audio/midi problems (with fin2007) are thus: The user selects speedy entry and clicks on a staff. On playing a few notes on MIDI-keyboard, there is a marked delay before the sound is played. This occurs both with the built in smart synth and with GPO. Then if the user clicks around

Midi has no latency. Latency issues occur when a computer doesn't have enough CPU power or a fast enough data bus or enough RAM and the samples are too large for the system to handle easily. Well, actually MIDI itself does have latency. It's a serial communication language, so if I play a

Honestly, you'll never use the pivot. I have a Dell 22 that can pivot (I really don't know of any that cannot), but I never use it that way. I can see all of what I want on it no problem. I'd suggest looking for something that is high definition. Dell Monitors are generally rated really high.
