...and I don't mean a one-finger melody, but a
mutli-polyphonic piano
piece, eventually with sustain held down, which
resulted in about 20
to 40 simultaneusly processed voices.
Yep, I do this since 2003. Though not with Linux, yet, but
Win32 on an
RME Multiface.
Sampled pianos, strings, some synths.
I started on AMD Athlon xp1600 (iirc) with 1GB RAM and I'm
now on AMD
athlon 2x2GHz laptop with 3GB RAM.
What can I say? It works. The audience varies from 150 to
4000 people,
and I trust my system, despite it's Windows. ;) I clearly
wouldn't even
enter the stage when I'd doubt system stability.
This said, Linuxsampler was the most useful virtual
instrument I found,
but I'm really missing my Hypersonic2. This comes very
close to a
typical keyboard workstation with lots of _decent_ sounds
like Korg
Triton or Yamha Motif.
I then bought a Korg microX as the primary sound engine for
my ardour
based studio setup. It's around 450 Euro, it delivers the
Triton sounds,
it's hardware and it's approximately the price one would
have to pay for
a good virtual instrument. It's the confession that HQ
virtual
instruments on Linux (besides LS) won't happen any soon.
are you kidding ?? have you tried Pianoteq ?
I use it at 1ms lat for RT playing together with Addictive Drums via dssi-vst. Not a
single glitch.
I use a dedicated PC, with a Core 2 Duo @ 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM and RNME HDSP + Multiface II
sound system.
J.
process 30 voices in less than 9 milliseconds ?
You don't need 9ms, I use 12ms, and I would claim I'm not
lagging behind
the drummer. ;)
