Right, and the issue is not the amount of data that MIDI produces, but coordination of the MIDI data with the QWERTY keyboard data. > > Or are you saying that using a Qwerty keyboard, mouse, scanner, > > digital camera, etc on USB alongside MIDi is creating a data > > bottleneck? > > Yes. Especially if you use a hub. That would suggest that each USB device adds its own timecode to the data. If it didn't, the hub shouldn't be causing any bottlenecks, because in computer terms, there really *isn't* much data involved. I'm wondering if Chris tested plugging the MIDI adaptor into one of the ports on the PC, not into a hub, or plugging both the QWERTY keyboard and the MIDI adaptor into the hub, and if that made any difference. -- David W.
