The plan was to use Linux for MIDI sequencing and recording and use Windows for hosting samples (via Kontakt, PLAY, etc). A more stable solution for me was to send MIDI to Windows via QMidiNet (using ipMIDI on the Windows side to receive the MIDI), and send the audio back via SPDIF, and I have been using this successfully for a while (using RME Multiface on Linux for all audio output, so the Windows audio is all routed to Linux for monitoring). This only allows one stereo channel at a time, though, which can be tedious to record, so I am upgrading to using ADAT between the two for audio (will give me 8 channels of digital audio between the two, for now). I found an e-MU 1010 for less than $150, which is the perfect card for standalone ADAT output. -- Brett W.
