Hi Roland,
Thanks so much for your messages and the dialog. We're very much looking forward to getting you sorted.
Thanks so much for pointing out that latency when playing piano keys would be a huge problem for you and render MD unusable. Let me assure you that not only are we committed to solving this problem for your specific case, but we are also musicians and have thousands of users working on MD with no particular latency. Your use case is very particular, since you're playing a HARDWARE keyboard through MD and then passing that information on to SampleTank. This is NOT THE CORRECT SETUP, though we in the future of MD this setup might be contemplated. FOR THE TIME BEING what you need to do is to use MD to control Sampletank but to AVOID USING MD AS A TRANSLATION APP. To do this, simply shut off the UM-ONE as an input for MD. So the UM-ONE should be going to SampleTank and MIDI Designer should ALSO be going to Sample Tank, but the hardware keyboard should NOT be processed through MIDI Designer.
Of course, if any of this proves to be difficult, we will work with you to find a setup that is acceptable, and if we have to modify MIDI Designer to make your use case work, of course we can, and FAST. But for right now, let's try to focus on removing this annoying situation by solving the problem using the tools we have at hand. Later we can discuss other ways that MD could make this situation easier for you.
Thanks for the patience as we resolve this problem WITH YOUR HELP.
Best!
Dan
