While this all sounds very cool and being a person with a severe case of gear lust I am interested.

The thing that really concerns me is the Linux o/s. In the replies here there is a lot of "possibilities" mentioned with it. That however is not reality and availability.

Most of us here are not programmers and certainly not Linux programmers. To me much like Apples (Mac) they may be great computers, however when one goes looking for 3rd party software etc., it's pretty tuff to find anything compared to Windows available things. So while Windows does need improvement (running on the EKO) at least there are tons of programs and voices already available for it.

No offense but relying on the good intentions of companies with new visions does not translate to reality. I would certainly hate to wind up with a $6000.00 paper weight in my studio and that's what this will be if there is not sounds, styles and whatever else available in the aftermarket to run on Linux.

BTW: several of the links that were given here are no good to pictures etc. I hope the Liontracs works better than that.
