Pulse is easy to get rid of, systemd not so much unless you replace it
with something else. At some point you would be using systemd if you want
something to start with no user input.
At present I'm running with the standard Ubuntu kernel, and will see if there
is a need for the low-latency
kernel once I get it up and running.
You may wish to stop cron. Ubuntu uses cron and utilities that depend on
cron. While cron does run with nice, there seem to be some operations
ubuntu does with it that are atomic enough to disturb sound. (at least in
the past when I tested it) I have not tried softsynth operation on a
regular kernel, so I can't really say. I have found for my uses that I
could get by with higher latency with softsynth than I can with guitar
effects. I think it will depend on your keyboard player. Some of the
mechanical pipe organs had a rather long delay from keypress to sound
anyway.
