Hey all,
I've been reading with interested that some of you use
netbooks/small form factor pc's/rasberry pi's on stage for live
performance. I'm currently developing an LV2 plugin and am wondering
what the lowest common denomination screen resolution I should be
shooting for.
During performance, what if anything, do you actually need to see
apart from what the the current preset is? Is there a use case for
making all parameters for a synth plugin (for example)
available/accessible on screen, or using midi learn to hide/unhide
parameter tabs etc. Examples of current programs plugins would be
great.
Screen?
What is this screen thing of which you speak?
My goal for a synth is MIDI buttons and knobs, not a screen.
The last gig I did, after I started up my system I stuffed the netbook in a corner and
nobody even saw it.
A completely headless command-line setup was the ideal. I have a Raspberry Pi and might
try getting JACK to work on it.
Back when I was gigging regularly I kept the screen up only to have the setlist and/or
lyrics.
