Honestly, I doubt you could tell the difference between 4ms and 14ms in a blind test. There have been many studies on this. If you can detect such tiny differences in onset time, you would be superhuman.
please test me! are these studies made with instrumentalists and performers? (I did not read them yet, but know about perception tests in general) It is not a big deal to play scales with notes of about 40-50 ms. so 10 percent delay makes you believe you play slower. playing fast musical events makes the listener think it is one event, but actually the performer has to trigger two ore several events. it is not just pressing a key and asking did I percept the delay.. marius.
