I would say that for playing a software synthesizer realtime a latency of
10ms or less is ok. I'm not sure what latency most hardware synthesizers
have, but this will probably not be much better, sometimes even more than
10ms. Only the transmission of a noteon/off MIDI command will use
1ms (3 * 320usec, no running status).
