Don't give up hope if you don't have expensive custom MIDI firewire hardware. I just have:
First off, I had about 1.5 seconds latency between hitting a pad on the TD-3 and a sound coming out of the laptop speaker. After a couple of hours messing around with settings, latency is so low it's imperceivable. I can have the TD-3 and the laptop outputing sound at the same time and I can't hear any delay between them. Perfect.
So for people with laptops don't be too quick to write off your hardware as useless, it may just work fine.
- New TD-3KW (yay!)
- Dell Inspiron 9600 laptop (about 2 years old)
- Laptop's inbuilt on-board sound
- Cheapest MIDI to USB adapter I could find on ebay (unbranded hong kong import)
