Since I'm a new comer to the Max environment, I met a few problems when setting up the midi controller to Max. So I would like to ask for your opinions.

Currently I have a midi keyboard connected to the Max patches to make the notes in, but there is a huge delay between the keys you hit and the sounds Max could make. Here is my configuration information,

WinXP, Intel 1.4G, 256Mb, Max/MSP 4.5.2 with Jitter, Roland D5 keyboard(usb). The simplest Max patches I used to test contains only notein followed by noteout object, and that would also cause the delay problem.

I would like to know whether you have such problems, and if so, how you solved them.

try fiddle with the "Max Scheduler in Overdrive" and "Scheduler in Audio 

Interrupt" settings in the Options > DSP Options menu, and see if they 

make any difference. If so, you can check out 

MSP45TutorialsAndTopics.pdf page 36 -> for more details on the settings, 

in particular the two options mentioned above are explained further at
