Subject:B4 stage rig question

So I'm probably going to try using B4 on stage tomorrow night
controlled by a V5 and SL-161 (which self-destructed so I built a
wooden case for it-- be on the lookout for some pictures).

I have been experiencing some MIDI glitches which I think are from
the V5 MIDI-in merge. Are people using a merge box on stage, or is
running a midi controller into the V5 and working? I also use Antek
Pocket Pedal in line set to Breath Control which I have mapped to the
B4 expression pedal. For now I will just use a midi merger but
that shouldn't be necesary.

I did get audiomulch programmed nicely for B4 in VST mode-- I'll
upload a file at some point. Rather then use MIDIOX to remap
things, I set my V5 on MIDI channel 4 so I could do things like have
the Voce Keyclick knob become percussion volume... The drawbars
themselves don't map perfectly but Audiomulch allows you to input a
custom midi control curve for each VST parameter. Setting the
output to 128 for an input of 118 matched up the drawbars well. I
also remapped the Voce's on/off buttons so that I can toggle between
chorus off and chorus on B4, instead of having it jump straight to
Vibrato. Ditto w/Percussion fast/slow, normal/soft, and the
harmonic selection.

I'm getting 5.6ms latency w/an Echo Indigo and Compaq M300 running XP.
