(2) SynthFont as my playback device (with the MIDI loop disabled, as you've already done).
(3) and turn the GS Wavetable OFF. It interferes with ASIO, and will cause latency issues even with other devices (pernicious little bugger). In Composer,
- click on Setup/MIDI Devices Configuration
- click on "Ports/Select Ports.
- In the right-hand panel, make sure that "Microsoft GS Wavetable" is UNchecked.
- Ok/exit out the dialogs
That hopefully should do the trick.

Sherry you don't need ASIO4ALL if your sound card supports ASIO. ASIO4ALL is a bandaide for sound cards that don't have ASIO support.
I did everything you said and it mostly works.
Except I got MIDI Feedback, I switched to LoopBe30 and that fixed that.
My only issue (which is not huge) is something I think in Composer is overriding the Instrument (voice) I choose on the KeyBoard. If I Choose for example 16 for Organ (on the keyboard display), the Organ works fine. But as soon as I play music from Notation to play along with, it changes KeyBoard (sound it produces) back to Piano even though KeyBoard display will still show 16.
How do you control the KeyBoard's instrument (Voice) in Notation (when not recording). There is no staff associated with the KeyBoard.
EDIT: A little more info on Notation Changing KeyBoard Instrument.
In SynthFont you can see a temp Midi Channel with Oragan Selected. As soon as I hit Play on Notation it Changes to Piano.
While it's playing I can change KeyBoard again to Organ and it will stick. The second I touch the staff, to say jump to another part of the staff, it flips back to Piano.
Also I have to have LoopBack in LoopBe30 on to get any sound from Notation or KeyBoard. That does not make sense to me. Nothing should need to be looped.
