Do you mean you could run a regular jack app on bela? About the low latency audio on regular linux, I know it's possible. I've been able to run my onboard soundcard at 16/2 48000 with no xruns on my old laptop (core2duo 2GHz). It starts to drop frames as soon as you do anything non-trivial, though. When I need live monitoring, I set up the card at 128 frames. That is low enough I can play guitar or keys normally. About the RT kernel, yes, it makes a world of a difference on my old computers at the lowest latencies. I also have a stock kernel configured for low power consumption on my netbook, and at 1024 frames I could build a quite big patch on automatonism yesterday, and play for hours without xruns. BTW check out automatonism, it's a great modular synth for puredata: https://www.automatonism.com/the-software/ On 3/31/17, Felipe Ferreri Tonello <eu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Fede, > > On 30/03/17 22:30, Fede wrote: >> I think the bela.io comes with a puredata compiler.
