In what way? It can't possibly be bandwidth issues. I don't even think USB latency should come into play as everything would just be a little late to arrive at the keyboard, perhaps, but it shouldn't affect the micro-timing of notes at random.
EDIT: OK, I read about jitter and it seems MIDI over USB might experience it a little more badly. Perhaps that is why only some note sequences seem to get a bit off while other remain fine, but it said the jitter should actually be small enough to barely be detectable. To me what happens makes a "sweeped" piano chord (don't know how to call that, like a quick strum on the guitar) sound off enough that it loses the rhythmic feel.
Either way, the other option I have is to connect to the Casio with a DIN cable (that I need to buy) coming from my Babyface Pro, but that interface is also connected to the computer using USB. Perhaps its drivers should make for a lower jitter?
