Re: [LAU] Hardware synths

Yeah I wouldn't use a fanless cpu, not nearly enough CPU power.
Heck when I play live sessions I just bring my entire custom built linux
PC which I then control through FreeNX on my laptop.
I use it exclusively as synth/rythm machine/midi sequencer. I don't see
the point for a hardware synth. Seems like a waste of money to me.
I'd rather spend some money on some cool midi controller pads or
something.
