One potential advantage to doing it in csound is that it is also very easy to adjust for different latencies between various synths. What we did was store different delay latencies in a table, then the midi parser instrument looks up the appropriate delay, and delays ouput accordingly. As far as I know, doing real time timing in python is not very accurate. This also puts the midi parsing in the csound process, meaning that if you are using --sched with csound, you don't have to worry about preempting your midi input/output. Of course if you want that to be the case, then it doesn't work. Iain
