Title:
  midi high latency delay

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  In rosegarden (Jack & timidity) I have a bad delay of about 200ms when I press a Key till it sounds through my speakers. I use a YMF-Soundcard with a Yamaha-XG-Wavetable on it. If I use my Keyboard in LMMS the sounds appear just in time. So I knew that it is a problem with the Midi-Out-Device.
  As workaround I installed timidity++ additional to the existing one and loaded a GM-soundfont into it. Ans surprise: It works!?! So, there is something wrong with the standard-configuration of the midi-out-device in ubuntu-Studio 8.04.

  Some other guys have the same problem too:

  I used this HowTo:
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo?action=show&redirect=MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo

  My timidity.cfg:
  # Instrument configuration file for timidity
  # $Id: timidity.cfg,v 1.7 2005/09/03 19:26:03 hmh Exp $

  # You can change just about every option in TiMidity++ using
  # This config file.  Please refer to the timidity.cfg(5) manpage
  # for more details

  ## If you have a slow CPU, uncomment these:
  #opt EFresamp=d         #disable resampling
  #opt EFvlpf=d           #disable VLPF
  #opt EFreverb=d         #disable reverb
  #opt EFchorus=d         #disable chorus
  #opt EFdelay=d          #disable delay
  #opt anti-alias=d       #disable sample anti-aliasing
  #opt EWPVSETOZ          #disable all Midi Controls
  #opt p32a               #default to 32 voices with auto reduction
  #opt s32kHz             #default sample frequency to 32kHz
  #opt fast-decay         #fast decay notes

  ## If you have a moderate CPU, try these:
  opt EFresamp=l
  opt EFreverb=g,42
  opt EFchorus=s
  opt s32kHz
  opt p64a

  # Disabling some of the Midi Controls can help with the CPU usage a lot.
  # The same goes to the VLPF, sample anti-aliasing and effects such as
  # reverb and chorus

  # By default, try to use the instrument patches from freepats:

  source /etc/timidity/eawpatches.cfg
