this latency is confirmed by Yamaha UK tech support
(almost 100mS)
maybe if you're always MIDI syncing your loops you 
can get away with it

it does send Note-On, but only in a fixed arrangement.
(simulating a piano keyboard)
In other words, you can't program which note-on is sent by which switch.

It seems to only use one MIDI channel

...so tedious to program that you'll think about not bothering
