Re: [linux-audio-dev] Hartman Neuron

Linux has all the right ingredients for a good general-purpose audio i/o processing platform. The API's are fresh and well thought out, and expanding rapidly to accomodate the needs of performance app writers. It should come as no surprise... in fact, I would say stand back and watch: just as embedded Linux systems have revolutionized the networking appliance realm, so too will it happen with the 'musical instrument appliance' market. Here at Access we only use Linux as a lab tool for testing purposes, but it is feasible that a synth manufacturer could base a product around the Linux platform. Hartmann have done it, a few other known synth brands are doing it too. There is little doubt that Linux has a firm hold in the embedded world, these days... and in that realm, it has a lot to offer. -- ; Jay Vaughan r&d>>music:technology:synthesizers - www.access-music.de/
