Software synths

[Glenn Ervin at Home]

In Windows, the cause of a choppy external synth, as well as an internal one
for that matter is another device moving into the sound or speech
card/external synthesizer's memory range or IRQ.
I suppose a similar thing might be happening in Linux, but I don't yet know
how to address it in Linux.

I use to like hardware synths until I got this apollo 2.  I use to think
they were very responsive, easy to listen to and handy for setting up
machines with strange sound cards.

This apollo is a pain in the face.  The volume dial has been dodgy since I
got it, If the computer is under any kind of preasure it sounds choppy and
in Windows its a desaster.

I'd gladly fork out the money if I could find a decent hardware synth which
was easy to listen to: was powered by USB, was very responsive and had an
external volume control.

If any one knows of such a beast please let me know.
