Another Midi Equation?

I'm using Reason 2.5. It accepts two midi controllers. Right Now my Midi keyboard takes up one,and my Radikal SAC 2.2 takes up the other one.

Of course the midi keyboard operates as it is, and the Radikal SAC remote controls the mixer and Transport bar in Reason...I now want to add a Evolution UC 16 to control the knobs on the Virtual Synths.

MIDI Patchbays better avoided ?

Thinking of adding a MIDI Patchbay to my setup.
Curious to hear if this would be better avoided when not strictly needed. This because of the added delays (I thought at least a few milliseconds were unavoidable).

Are patchbays simply a tradeoff between convenience & tightness of timing ?

And much difference w.r.t. delays between the various models ?

Setting Midi Bank Changes in Cubase SX 2.0?

I use Cubase SX 2.0 with a Roland M-VS1 sound module. It has 255 presets(bank1=128,bank 2=127) I can’t seem to get Cubase to perform a Bank Change to get to the other presets(129-255). If I manually set the bank change in the SX Inspector I can change all presets. But during Playback SX will not change presets?

Midi Bank Change in Cubase SX?

I know how to Draw in a Program Change in Cubase SX. However, I want to also draw in a Bank Change. My module has 255 presets. I even tried to record another track to handle the Bank Change but it would only use the presets in the first 128 patches. I usually set my Bank in the inspector to 129 to get to the other presets(129-255).But it won't do the bank change during playback?

Is a Midi Daisy Chain Really that bad?

I just reconfigured my system(fatar midi keyboard controller-OUT- to-IN-of sound module-MIDI THRU- IN,2nd sound module-THRU-IN,3rd sound module.

That's how it is now. SO far No problems. I had a friend say I really need a bigger Midi Interface. Like a 4in/4out. Therefore, everything would be handled properly. Could this cause problems in the long run?
