The lowlatency kernel is a vanilla kernel with a selected configuration.
The rt-patch especially adds some improvements for MIDI usage + around
one frame value lower audio latency, e.g. instead of 1024 you might be
able to use 512 frames instead.

USB MIDI interfaces are something else. If possible don't use USB for
MIDI. When using USB for MIDI, you could expect a lot of MIDI jitter.

IIRC the test I already mentioned considers 2 ms of jitter as
acceptable. Getting quasi zero MIDI jitter, at beast is provided by non-
USB MIDI interfaces, but never ever by an USB MIDI interface.
