  Dear friends,

  I was wondering; I connect my TD-30 via usb to my macbook pro usb-c  16gb RAM (TD-30 selected as audiointerface) to trigger SD3. Latency is doable, but not great, especially not within my DAW (its better in the standalone SD3).

  Two questions:

  1. Would adding/buying an usb-c audio interface like the focusrite scarlett 3rd gen and using that as audio-interface instead make a difference in terms of latency?
  2. If the answer to 1 is yes and I use a separate audio-interface: would you advise to connect the TD-30 to the audio interface via MIDI-DIN cable, or connect the TD-30 via MIDI-USB cable directly to the laptop

  Thanks for your help guys!!
