Whether to use one or the other depends on the bigger picture of how
you're going to use them. As has been pointed out, the USB buss may have
other traffic on it that could affect timing.


Although he didn't say, his audio interface is probably also USB. It
makes no difference where MIDI data is converted to USB format - in the
keyboard itself or in the audio interface.

Very true...if the piano is used by itself. It may still be better to
use the interface if there is also audio feeding it, since that reduces
the load on the USB buss and may allow for better sync of the piano with
the audio.

Buss? Now that's one confusing word. Some use Buss to describe a current carrying bar. Some use Bus. I always thought of Buss as a fuse manufacturer. If you look up the definition of Buss, it is a kiss.

Carry on! :-)
