I'm kind of scared to dive into the complexity of PD but I guess I should
give it a try...
As for thr EEE, I'm still in hope to get it properly running for minimal
audio but I seem to hit the wall glitchwise. I'm sure it's somehow possible
(littlegptracker eats only about 10% of the CPU) but all config I've tried
never lead me to smooth playback. Probably setting up a proper linuxRT on it
should make it ok but all my attempts lead to failure. I enjoy it a lot as a
portable development machine (I do a lot of coding in the bus) but so far
the audio part has only given me disapointment. According to some,
re-compiling a RT xandros kernel works but even a major geek like me tends
to be turned of by the lack of clean solutions for that. I want to spend
time coding or doing music, not configuring kernels grabbing pieces of
information all over the place.
It's such a neat inexpensive machine tho, it's a shame not to be able to use
it for music on the go/ gigs and stuff. Probably one day I'll be able to fix
it.
Hi Marc
you can use pd to transform midi data in any way you like, you don't
have to switch on the audio processing so it can behave lightweight. I
use it all the time for that purpose.
I am curious to hear what you are doing with the EEE.
Cheers,
