There are some examples of people trying to do this and I think the general impression is that the latency is touch and go depending on what you're playing. I have one here running fluidsynth, alsa midi using an Evolution USB keyboard, and a set of mellotron soundfonts. It's OK for chords and single note runs, but if I try anything rapid, it feels laggy. Of course, compared with a real mellotron that's not so bad, but playing a WX5 may be sore. As others have pointed out the audio out isn't audiophile quality, but I'd have thought if you were in a studio you'd use proper hardware and this would be for live use? In which case, factory in an amp, an audience talking and so on, and I don't think it's as big an issue as people make out. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
