This is good news about the TASCAM devices (I see there's a whole series of them and they're cheap.) I've also heard that Presonous's interfaces are class compliant, but I've now forgotten who told me that.
I read some months ago on the Raspberry Pi site that it should perform "about like a 300 mHz Pentium II" - and the fact that it runs the phase vocoder patch without running out of CPU cycles roughly confirms that. For those of you who are getting skips in the sound, I'm curious if Pd is printing the usual messages like: priority 96 scheduling enabled. priority 98 scheduling enabled. on standard error when it starts up -- if not, it would be worth trying to figure out how to get Pd to be able to get real-time priority which might fix some of the problems. cheers Miller On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 08:35:25AM -0700, Scott R.
