You are playing in an external MIDI keyboard? I can't recall if the old MIDI delay comp bugs got fixed or not in recent releases. Try disabling MIDI delay comp in preferences. (but I'm assuming that is not an issue if you can play say some VIs with no delay and others without (at the *same* buffer size).
