USB midi controller latency question

Am I right in thinking that if you have a cheapo soundcard
with reasonably high latency, there will still be a
significant lag of your midi data affecting the sound you
hear? My thinking being that even if the USB device midi
controller sends its signals instantly, the cheapo sound
card will be taking a long time to play the sound from the
midi data it receives.

problem solution: get a combined midi controller/soundcard.

Got any good examples of one?

I quite fancy an akai-style M-audio "trigger finger".
Anything equivalent (must be velocity sensetive)

M-Audio

Novation

You could also just tweak your sequencers buffer size to the
lowest possible usable point.

The novation also has a synthesizer built in, as well as
extra inputs so you can use it as a mixer and other stuff.
Its the most usefull swiss army knife solution I can think
of. I have one. Its great (although I don't need to use it
as a soundcard).
