Which makes me wanna share an experience: Years ago I was hired to do some gigs as an added, second keyboard player. I was running linux (debian stable, but that doesn't matter) with all sounds from a homemade csound setup and three usb keyboards. My setup ran flawlessly, whereas the regular keyboard had to reboot his yamaha (motif something, I think) a few times, AFAIR even once during a gig. That much for "hardware" synths. BTW: I normally take my korg m50 on stage most of the time, when it's just regular keyboard playing. > Tests > with openbox I'm doing at the moment shows that openbox at least on my > computer is buggy.

Renoise (although being far from perfect) is one good example of that. I can't remember when I last had a crash in renoise, in fact not sure I ever did. Been running it since round 2009... -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
