they don't. i met with these guys at NAMM this last weekend. they like linux, it boots linux, but there's no magic here - no clever ways to do things with linux that you don't already know. its just a regular micro-ATX board with a P4 on it built into a keyboard. they are currently using a delta 1010 for audio i/o, mounted on the back edge of the thing. my overall impression: cool for somethings, but the current hardware feels a bit cheap, and someone made an excellent comparison to those tv's with a vcr built into it. i'd probably prefer to use plugzilla, which runs windows-compiled vst's without windows, and besides, marc lindahl is a cool cat and deserves support. --p
