There was also some discussion about running Yoshimi
on a Raspberry Pi - all
housed in a small box with a minimal touch screen - Interesting idea.
Do you know http://zynthian.org/ ? It's almost exactly that: A RPi 3B in
a nice box, with touch-screen, MIDI and audio i/o and a few knobs.
You can get it either as pre-assmbled, as DIY kit, or a schematic and
select bits and pieces.
People are definitely less 'scared' of Linux
these days, which is good,
although again, there was some discussion about porting Yoshimi to the Mac.
ZynAddSubFX, zyn-fusion really, runs on Mac and Windows (LV2 and VST).
You could link interested users to your sister-project.
The greatest, most pleasant surprise was the (fairly
elderly) wife
of a friend who was quite interested in the actual sound banks, and
impressed with the reproduction quality.
Oddly enough that does not surprise me :)
Your preset collection is actually a great asset, also for zyn. The vast
majority of users would likely be happy to only use existing banks or
presets.
Very nice setup! Kudos for spreading the word and waving the linux-audio
flag at events! I do like your "Fully FOSS - no fuss" tagline.
Cheers!
