Hi,
Where to start? I have a Dell 7000 laptop and I'm wondering if it can be a
music synthesizer(something like a Minimoog). If not, why not?
I know there are much more powerful machines out but that's beside the
point. If the goal is a dedicated performance grade synth(as in it sounds

Of course. The major contenders are linuxsampler,
fluidsynth, and zynaddsubfx.

Lots of jokers do this. And sometimes they even go backwards.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Some thoughts

Ubuntu(Karma I think. BTW: Ubuntu is based off Debian and that packaging
system didn't seem to save me from breaking things) and then used various

Hey!
Bristol synths are very good, but I have problems with them. They do run on
my system, but I am not able to use most of them reliably, since if you play
fast or play a long succession of notes, the synth simply uses up too many
resources and eventually gets kicked out of jack. So my dream to u

Which is interesting. I did not notice on my ASUS laptop any significant
difference between rt-kernel
and a normal one. It was there - a bit less dropouts, but the change was not
significant, meaning that
my non RT kernel mode works almost as good.

Well this is sort of the direction I was hoping to go anyway. I've heard of
Xenomai but haven't looked at it. The RTAI system was a package on
Debian(Ubuntu) and so I bit. I was disappointed to find out that instead of
installing a workable system, the package only installed the source code.

Ok, this may a partial fair point, but I don't think its impossible that
with a machine with 100+ MB of RAM that one could screw off virtual
memory(paging) especially since I'm not really after having a soundfont
library available so much as having something that calculates a sample at a
time.

I agree 100% with the views expressed by Torben.
Today Linux Audio system performance (ALSA or FFADO drivers
and Jack) is *very* good.

To all concerned, I've gotten quite a few responses and rather respond
individually to each every one I'm responding to David Olufson's because his
is overall the most sensible and informative. I'll respond to some of his
indivdual points and then finish with this in general at the end.
