Re: [linux-audio-dev] Slashdot: linux-based music keyboard workstation released

It's just a frikkan computer! I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan of these synth workstations. They are just crippled computers and in this case, withold the cripple (but double the money). You can just make one of those.. wouldn't be as pretty and you'd have to muck w/ RT-linux. Or, you could pick up a laptop.. it's all the rage these days, I hear ;) I think good synth design, as far as hardware goes, is knowing what features to leave out as much as engineering them in. If it's too versatile, it is just a frusturating, expensive computer. I think a true show of embedded linux excellence would be something with a mediocre processor and very small & cheap, but is intuitive and reasonably flexible. Anyone out there working on cool embedded designs? --- Jens M Andreasen <jens.andreasen(a)chello.se> wrote: http://www.lionstracs.com/index.php?module=Static_Docs&func=view __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
