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.

10 years ago I was using a program called Vaz
that emulated a
3-oscillator analog synth with portamento and ring mod and other
nifty stuff, and ran without a hiccup on my 100MHz 486 box
running Win95. I know Zyn (like other modern softsynths) is
capable of doing a lot more, but shouldn't it be able to do a
monophonic two-oscillator synth on a P3 of any speed without
hiccupping and without needing to install unofficial kernel
patches and whatnot?
Pure Data has always performed well for me on lower end hardware and
i've never run anything but Debian pre-compiled kernels with no pre-empt
stuff. Of course, it depends what you're doing, but definately for a
couple of oscillators doing simple subtractive/additive synthesis it
works beautifully on slower machines. Not sure about 100MHz though!
Started using it on a 500MHz machine, so that is definately ok.
Chris.
