I just want to clarify that when people talk about latency it is usually taken to mean the time it takes from the moment you hit the key to the time it takes to hear the sound.

On the other hand the time it takes to start a new application or program is usually referred to loading time or something like that.

As far as I am concerned you can setup so called performances on a software based system where there is minimal latency 10ms or less and no loading times. I have explained this in some of my past discussions on this subject. I have absolutely no trouble using my system for live performances. If you setup performances (preload the required instruments) and fully load the auto accompaniment you should have no problems of any kind.....and you will have the best sounds available anywhere....bar none. From what I see the mediastation should have no trouble doing the same thing....it is a computer in a keyboard.

The main deficiency in my system is the user interface and even this one can get used to. Mediastation would solve this problem. It should do very well as an arranger keyboard (including live performances) with the best sounds available.

I am for anything that provides options for those in the music business. Domenik is doing just that and we should be grateful for that. Should he succeed then he deserves to become a rich person. I for one wish him the best.
