Linux has all the right ingredients for a good general-purpose audio
i/o processing platform. The API's are fresh and well thought out,
and expanding rapidly to accomodate the needs of performance app
writers.
It should come as no surprise... in fact, I would say stand back and
watch: just as embedded Linux systems have revolutionized the
networking appliance realm, so too will it happen with the 'musical
instrument appliance' market.
Here at Access we only use Linux as a lab tool for testing purposes,
but it is feasible that a synth manufacturer could base a product
around the Linux platform. Hartmann have done it, a few other known
synth brands are doing it too.
There is little doubt that Linux has a firm hold in the embedded
world, these days... and in that realm, it has a lot to offer.
