And Pd, which is the oldest and probably most capable and stable of all the available graphical softsynths running on Linux. It also has a dsp graph inside, which is quite clever, but indeed it can lead to dropouts if you create a lot of objects at the same time, as the dsp graph needs to reorder itself. However live patching is possible in Pd and it is done by a lot of users. Regarding the live capabilities of Pd, let me tell you a recent story: Last weekend we did an improvisation gig in my town, where ten laptop artists, most of them running Pd on Linux (seven, and one running Max/MSP on OS-X, two running Supercollider on OS-X) were playing together for a really long time (about an hour, but some participiants just couldn't stop... ;) All machines were synchronized through OSC messages coming from my machine sent to broadcast addresses, one main machine with Pd on Linux was receiving all the other machines' audio data through its RME card and then doing spatialization with them in Pd which fed 16 speakers with sounds running over 8 independent paths (which were in turn controllable by everyone involved through OSC again). This was quite an impressive setup, and Pd did not fail on a single box through the whole performance. Oh, and some people were also doing video art with their Pd/Linux boxes. Can Buzz do all this?
