# \&mididelay

General Option! ([`&push`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/push.md), [`&room`](/advanced-settings/setup-parameters/room.md), [`&view`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/view.md), [`&scene`](/advanced-settings/mixer-scene-parameters/scene.md))

## Options

Example: `&mididelay=1000`

| Value           | Description |
| --------------- | ----------- |
| (numeric value) | delay in ms |

## Details

`&mididelay=1000` lets you precisely delay the MIDI play-out from VDO.Ninja to your MIDI device when using [`&midiin`](/advanced-settings/api-and-midi-parameters/midiin.md), irrespective of network latency.

Use case: If you have a remote drum machine, you can have it play out the beat exactly 4-bars ahead, allowing for music jamming types with even high ping delays between locations.
