Not really... Its build on standard pc hardware, thats becomming more pwoerfull and cheeper as we speak...

The whole kronos is build on top of a linux version, and its actually not that hard to add new modules to that.... Its just standard software deep under the roof, and many VSTs for example can be easilly addapted to Linux.

The oasys was so expensive, not because of the hardware but because of the whole software development, and the low numbers they meant to sell to keep it exclusive.


Its just a matter of reconfiguring the PA3x software to Linux, which is not that hard...
