I don't know what you're doing but I have rock solid midi timing from Windows 7 via a £5 generic MIDI/USB cable to my Korg Triton Studio. I'm using Renoise as a DAW.
XP was crappy - it hit the disk so often and hung.
- anigbrowl 13y agoIt's a problem on multi-output USB interfaces for a lot of people. I suspect system configuration issues but I don't think you should have to take a barebones system approach to get decent timing. I mainly sequence in hardware so I haven't gone to great lengths to get to the bottom of it.

Also, bear in mind that this is a particularly fussy demographic. I sometimes think if you are that obsessed then maybe MIDI isn't the protocol for you, but OTOH there isn't much in the way of OSC hardware on the market :-/ It's notable that there's a bit of a CV renaissance underway though, a lot of people prize timing/resolution over versatility.
- bananas 13y agoDepends how they implemented midi and the timers. If it's win32 MIDI API stuff and Win32 timers the messaging isn't real time so you will get jitter. That's going to be worse on win vista and above due to a number of issues. If it uses ASIO MIDI back end it'll miss all the problematic message loops. I only use SYSEX and use the Triton Studio sequencer though as its the most awesome thing ever made by man.
