you may remember about a week or two ago i posted on here talking about making a program in java essentially turning rock band drums into a midi drum kit. well, i was able to get everything working correctly except for the fact that java midi synthesis FUCKING BLOWS. there is a ~500ms delay from the time where you hit the drum pad to when you hear the note being played, essentially making it useless.
i have determined through extensive research (google hurrr) and testing that the problem does, in fact, lie in java's slow midi synthesis. many others have the same problem. java blows. the problem is, i am not very strong in c/c++/c# to try to develop it in those languages.
before i embark on this project in another language, i want to know if you guys know about any lag midi synthesis latency, namely in c# as i'm more familiar with that and it is more similar to java than c/c++ either of which i've had very minimal experience.
also: gui is much easier in c# olololol
