Re: [LAU] Eee As Synth Engine?

I am very interested in this gadget. I played with one in a store today. Tiny! The main things holding me back are: 1) the keyboard would take a LOT of getting used to - it's soooo small! 2) the display model in the store had a glitchy, intermittent trackpad button. I'm sure it took a lot of abuse in the past month or so it's been there, but that's still not encouraging. 3) Does ALSA support USB 2.0 devices yet? (There's no firewire port, so BeBob is irrelevant). I'd like to get decent (well under 10 ms) latency at 2 channels in/out for use in live performances, and possibly higher channel count at higher latency for use as an ultraportable Ardour box :-) Something like the M-audio Fast Track Ultra would be nice - iff it works with alsa! But I'd need MIDI too to hook up foot controllers. The Edirol FA66 would be perfect - but it's firewire. What are my options? Anything? :-( -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
