Softsynths in live performance

Hey folks. Anyone using softsynths like ivory, akoustik piano, minimoog V, etc. on a powerbook in a live performance? If so, what midi/audio interface are you using?

I just bought a tascam us-122 and the midi latancy on this unit is horrible! I need a midi/audio unit similar to the us-122 that can handle my phat cords!! (smile) Thanks in advance!

I have the us-122. Junk, it never worked well for me, esp the midi latency

I'd try a pcmcia card, like this maybe

Using a compaq Centrino + Firebox - No problems

Hi there:
I'm using a Centrino notebook (Compaq) with 1.25GB of RAM and a Presonus Firebox for my live rig. I regularly use Ivory, Lounge Lizard, Kontakt and a bunch of other soft synths with no problems at all. Latency is set to 10ms and I've never had ANY problems playing live. I also use two MIDI controllers at the same time.
