Screen?

What is this screen thing of which you speak?

My goal for a synth is MIDI buttons and knobs, not a screen.

The last gig I did, after I started up my system I stuffed the netbook in a corner and nobody even saw it.

A completely headless command-line setup was the ideal. I have a Raspberry Pi and might try getting JACK to work on it.

Back when I was gigging regularly I kept the screen up only to have the setlist and/or lyrics.
