So that is it basically, plus another short question, I have downloaded the megadrum editor software and I noticed names as well as the inputs themselves are pre-configured, is it possible to create unique names for our instruments,

Very likely I will implement this.

I've now implemented this feature in the latest firmware version and the latest version of MDM.

The USB interface itself is reported to have 1000 usec or 1 msec latency so it is hardly the bottleneck of performance.

I play technical death metal and many of the notes I play reach below 60 msec (like 16th at ~260BMP) and latency approaching 20 msec would result in 30+% offset, which is rather annoying.


Latency is not an issue with MD (if you have a decent PC and sound card), even with older firmware, even for Portnoy... :D
Believe me!
Total latency is about 8 to 10 ms (measured on my system). Playability is very good especially if you think that in the audio environment, 10 ms delay is perceived like a chorus effect, not like a "slap back"...
