I've been tinkering recently with my Eee running
Xubuntu and a newly
acquired M-Audio Axiom 49 USB Midi Keyboard; I think it'd be just about
as great as it could get if I could use the Eee as a synth engine via
XynAddSubFX or similar - Unfortunately, I've been unable to tweak my
JACK settings to the point that all stutters and chops have been
eliminated. I understand that the Eee specs are quite low (900mhz proc,
512MB RAM), but watching my resource usage while I'm playing shows the
processor at less than 50% and RAM holding steady at 60% or so - This
would lead me to believe that my problem is configuration related.
Any other Eee users out there had any luck getting JACK fine tuned to
the Eee? Since we're all working on nearly identical hardware, perhaps
we could swap configs?
Have you tried another synth? AFAIK ZynAddSubFX isn't realtime safe, and
hence doesn't make a good test candidate.
