[PlanetCCRMA] Linux-Based Musical Keyboard Workstation

[Ryan]

I read about that too.  Still not in production and costing 6k, seems
like a pretty risky venture.  I hope things work out for the developers
(some of them lurk this list ;-) could be a nifty tool (btw, seq24 is
the built in step sequencer/midi tracker IIRC).

I wonder if software is being developed specifically for the x-76 (that
could end up on a computer near me) or does it run available soft-synth
stuff i.e. planetCCRMA?  ;-)  I think the keyboard has an ethernet port
and software will be updated over the internet... apt-get install
x-76...

I'd love to see a demo unit in a Chicago guitar center,
