I am currently setting up a linux softsynth/arranger..

I´ll put in live/styler under wine as the arranger, together with the new linux Qtractor (Also known as Qranger) Next to that i'll be using the Linuxsampler (also known as the gigasampler in Mediastation)and Rosegarden as the main sequencer with Energy XT as the VST host..and Ardour for recording things...

There is a speciall set of samples available for the linux gigasampler that mimics the T2...they even have the full megavoices from the PSR900S available..while the gigasampler also can do things like the SA voices, there offcourse are many vst's availabe for this..

Also there is a patch available that lets the kernell of Linux work real time which takes care of very very low lattencies..

I'll be using the new Fedora Core 9 Distro and will start out with the planet CCRMA package collection...

Keep in mind that this is all free stuff that costs barely nothing... Since i am an experienced SUN Solaris (Unix) sysadmin, i will not hjave to much problems using Linux...

I'll keep you guys updated on this projct....
