HC Music that should be on Runtime Revolution

[René Micout]

Hello,
 From my past message :
..."
Pmd and MIDI Builder have a common disadvantage : we cannot “Play  
live“ because of principle : create a MIDI file witch is play by QT  
player, resulting in a latency of at least 1/5 seconds at the start  
of the file...
"
Is 1/5 seconds (200 milliseconds) is too long ?
