#### delaying a MIDI note/event

is there a way to build a device that function as a midi delay?
for some reason, i'd like to try to implement a device which introduces a delay when i press a note on the keyboard.
so that i press the note
some 10s or 100s milliseconds pass
the note is forwarded.
it has to work on MIDI events and not on other thing...
any idea?
thanks!

There's an async delay in the DSP Module List, but I haven't tried it directly with midi signals & even if you get it to work with a midi signal, you're gonna need a lot of them to build any sort of worthwhile midi delay, so I'm sure there's an easier way.

It's an option to using Scope.
Hardware units used on ebay are very cheap too.

the hardware solution is too much...
my problem is that i have the "midibox sequencer" (www.ucapps.de) but when i try to record in realtime the patterns with the keyboard, i sistematically have the steps recorded "before" the beat. and i don't think is my timing...
so, since the keyboard is routed to scope, and form here it goes to the sequencer, i'd like to check a way to "delay" the midi notes sent to the sequencer. but i don't know if this solution will work or not...

Why not record the live midi data to a sequencer on your computer first. That way you can edit & organize the recorded midi before sending it out to be recorded into the external sequencer. Doing it that way you might even be able to dump .mid files out to the sequencer if it supports that.

i did that once, but the cool thing of the midibox seq is the ability to record sequences live.

anyway, i have to admit that (even i built it some years ago) i'm not using it a lot, and i still have to explore all of its possiblities...

I can understand that, but if you route the midi through a sequencer like Cubase etc before it goes out to your midibox, not only would you have the option to do what I suggested above IE- easily edit & organize the recorded midi, but you'd also be able to delay the live midi signal either in the sequencer itself or with a plugin if you wanted to record straight into the midibox.
