Hello,
I recently upgraded to Waveform Pro but am having an issue with MIDI latency. When I play notes on my AKAI MPK mini keyboard they play back with a delay. I didn't have this issue before. Any ideas what's going on?

Did you change the output device? On Windows, ASIO4ALL may perform better than default Windows audio drivers.

The time adjust is set to zero.
Audio device type is set to ASIO. The other options are Windows audio, Windows audio (exclusive mode), Windows audio (low latency mode), Direct sound.
I'm not really good at understanding these things. Is one of those other options worth trying?

What does this number mean? What am I looking for?

That number is the latency - the delay between input and output. Lower numbers increase the chance of glitches as the CPU tries and fails to keep up. Higher number get better results but a more noticeable lag between playing and hearing.
At this point I have no idea why you're hearing delays. There may be a setting we've missed or there might be some other issue. You haven't given much to go on, but at the same time you probably don't know what's relevant to describe. Maybe turn it off an back on again?

Surely there must be consensus by now...
