So, your are talking about MIDI latency here? That would make sense.
I've never had a problem with that though.

Are talking about a third sort of latency, the time it takes for the
looper to implement the command?

The worst latency in this example must be the DA conversion (making
the sound analog so it can be sent to loudspeakers). But I'm sure Rick
"plays" that latency. Every instrument answers back differently. A
temple block has many times less "latency" than a big taiko drum.
