Can you workaround by not using the PC to generate the MIDI audio at all? Personally I find all of the PC based audio selections annoyingly laggy and slow. I just let my Yamaha play through its speakers or else use my open earbud headphones. I turn the piano volume down to zero in the Playground Ses...

I see a lot of people recommending Hanon so have been trying out the first one or two myself.
