How are people finding the latency? This seems quite concerning.

i havent noticed , iād be more concerned heās trigging from an mpc live to be honest.
a small amount of latency on evolving pads (slow attack) isnāt an issue for me , tight percussive sounds or bass would be more critical but i cant say ive noticed any issue on any of the boutiques ive got.
Iāve got a JP-08 with about 20ms of latency, which is noticeable for anything with a fast attack, which is a shame because I really like Jupiter bass.
I use a hardware sequencer and therefore canāt set a negative track delay to compensate.
Have been meaning to sell it for a while, but havenāt got round to it.
Thatās a real shame as I think these units sound good. Latency issues are a total creative killer. I guess all is not lost with a sync device like ERMs Multiclock
The latency is the reason Iāll be selling my JU-06. I would be able to overlook the four-note polyphony limitation if it werenāt for the latency, which for me is very noticeable except for pads.
I bought TAL U-NO-LX to replace itā¦ no more latency. I do slightly prefer the sound of the JU-06 (the chorus is a little more ārichā sounding), but the plugin is more than good enough for me.
The SH-01A, which I also have, is known to be better with latency, and from day one it was noticeably snappier in its response after being familiar with the JU-06 for several months prior. Unfortunately for me, I much prefer the Juno soundā¦
have you tired using the external clock-in instead? that might be a way to get round this latency issue on the SH01A
I have no issue with latency on the SH-01A, played via external midi, though Iām not using its sequencer. Iāve tested before using the external clock in with a Machinedrum impulse machine and timing seemed very tight.
The latency when triggering the SH-01A via midi is as negligible as any midi-controlled analog synth Iāve usedā¦ itās only the JU-06 that Iāve actually noticed has a delayed timing, but that was in the context of a very on-the-grid groove, and in a hardware setup where I couldnāt really adjust to compensate for the latency. Itās otherwise a great synth and I didnāt find the latency to be that bad for the year I owned it prior to the discover, so I may have just been extra OCD that day.
