Hot news from NAMM 2005 - it is rumored that the Alesis Fusion and the Korg Oasys (both demo'ed to the public for the first time at this NAMM) are actually using Linux under the hood. http://www.fusionsynth.com/ http://www.korg.com/gear/product_info.asp?a_prod_no=OASYS&category_id=1 Here's a video demo of the Fusion synth: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/shownews.cfm?newsid=1924 Pretty impressive: all the major synthesis techniques (sampling, virtual analog, physical modelling, FM), plus an 8-track sequencer, plus a 40GB hard-drive.
