Re: [LAU] ZynAddSubFX voices

Thank you dearly for the pointers. I'm not settled on the color
scheme of the blog yet and experimenting with the software available.
As a matter of fact while I was experimenting with a new host for my
music site I discovered that they supported WordPress and was able to
fairly easily install it to my new site, therefore I am moving the
blog to a subdirectory on my main site. It will now be located at
http://airlynx.x10hosting.com/linuxmusic

As far as the low latency/realtime issues I am aware of them, however,
I have had no problem with them. This is probably because I have used
solely distros pre-tuned with low latency kernels and that is what I
encouraged in my article. My approach is more towards the musician
coming to Linux to take advantage of recording capabilities, which is
what I was (and still am). Thank you for the advice though. I may
gather some information and make a quick post in the future about low
latency kernels.

Currently I'm detailing everything I know about seq24 while gathering
enough intel to thoroughly cover ZynAddSubFX, I anticipate that will
be a fairly long post, but I don't think I can cover every bell and
whistle.
