Thanx a lot for this link!! I never find it! many good information!! And
it's true that RME is expensive, it's why i could be interested in a
cheaper one. But if only this one is working to have good performance, i

Which one is it exactly? What latency do you have with your MIDI input
and output? because i would not have some bad experience, so if you tell
me, yours is working fine, i will look for the same. I heard so much bad
