[Ardour-Users] Ardour 5.6 moves MIDI notes to the left?

[Mirko Horstmann]

The buffer size is 128 samples (2 periods, 48kHz). Pianoteq is running 
as an LV2 plugin. My MIDI keyboard and synth are connected via USB and 
I'm using a2jmidid.

Is this about the "Adjust latency..." settings? All channels are set to 
0 samples.
