--_000_C154CA4B938C3345ADE2739C56E799F2312BFEEXMBX20103campusM_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Auditory List, I am currently looking at purchasing a MIDI Drum Pad for experimental resea= rch involving finger tapping. There appears to be very little information r= egarding how much of a time delay there is between the pads being tapped an= d the sound being produced (via external MIDI devices or the drum pad's int= ernal sequencer). I'm looking to have the smallest time delay possible (sub-millisecond would= be ideal). Does anyone have any advice about the best device to use and wh= at kinds of time delays I should expect from the device? Their unit of puls= es per quarter note does not appear to be very informative. Kind regards, Dr. Benjamin G.
