I haven't read this article yet, but try it, it may have something: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=6320 > Has anyone done any comparisions in terms of realtime performance of any > of the softsynths. > > I was interested in seeing results of the following or possibley other synths compared: > > csound > pd > sfront > > I was curious how well sfront performs because you can optimise that for > your instruments to your processor.

I know pd probably has a faster developement time similar to > writing something in perl but is the execution performance the same as > say sfront or csound? What has better performance for real time stuff > csound or sfront? > > Thanks, > Jeremiah >
