We made music by sticking thorns in sabre-toothed tigers. Pitch and
volume were determined by just where you stick the thorn ;)
So if you know your sound has a (constant) delay
before its heard, why don't
you anticipate for that and just make your sound earlier?
It works, for centuries organists have done so.
But to be fair: I use my synths at <20ms.

In _MY_ day, we didn't have these fancy LOW-LATENCY
com-PEUT-ers. We listened for the person in the next
village beating on a LOG... and if we wanted to play with
them, we beat on our OWN log. And nothing ever lined up and
it sounded god-aweful, and WE LIKED IT! WE LOVED IT!

-gabriel p.s. For centuries, organists haven't kept steady
tempo,
either....
Nobody ever told them they had to!

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
