[LAU] New Linux Music

[Chip VanDan]

I never said Zyn ran without a hiccup or two, I guess I just have a
lot more patience since I run slower/older hardware.  It depends on
how much I do at once really, I usually record each track out
separately to avoid all that.  Occasionally I have Zyn lock up the
entire computer if I hit too many notes at once or use the sustain
pedal too much.  Other than that I have a lot of stuck notes, but I
usually just flow with them until I have the timing right to hit the
panic button, lol!  I just adhere to the KISS policy, Keep It Simple
Stupid.
