No, that's why, fortunately, I can play of the songs I want on this fake
digital piano without any delay trouble (occurs on 4 specific notes only
if pedal/key pressed longer than 6~7 seconds)!

The use of another piano sound font solved the problem.
It is sad for, as a beginner in midi and jack world, to began by using a
corrupted sound font...!
I have to do some tests in order to be sure that the problem was caused
