I tested my HPSPe RayDat on an Intel DP35DP Quad Xeon with midi quest and the jitter and latency results look awsome to me. I did get a sysex error though so if anyone can help me with that it would be good.

I also test the RayDat in Cubase 4 using the midi loop test technique because that is closer to a real world situation.

Out of 100 quantized note events spat out by Cubase to a RayDat midi port and recorded back in on a RayDat Midi port:
Jitter = 0 - 2.0ms

Peak latency = 3.0ms
Best Latency = 1.0ms
Average Latency = 1.52ms
BTW many notes had a jitter of 0ms

MTPAV with same Cubase loop test:
Jitter = 2 - 6ms

Peak latency = 13.0ms
Best Latency = 7.0ms
Average Latency = 10.3ms

Conclusion MTPAV hardware is at fault or drivers are shit!!!!! Anyone know how I can test this?
