Another great project :-) There are more niche ARM-projects I can think of, like an affordable 30-note (or 32-note) organ-style pedalboard; or a midi-pedal-board with 6..8 pedals (switches and potentiometers) a neat UI (web-page?) to set them to particular channels and controllers (no fluidsynth needed for that one :-( ); or plain-old-midi-keyboards but built for stackability (ie: the lower kbds have a flat unpopulated top-panel and the upper-keyboards a front-undercut of matching size so there's no waste space between the keyboards). At the OSDC conference https://2015.osdc.com.au/ I've just given a talk http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/osdc/index.html which mentions (towards the end) exactly this stuff. http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/osdc/index.html#80 and onwards Also: > I'm using a preempt-rt enabled kernel with hand-optimized IRQ > priorities and that gives me a latency (from key press to start > of sound) of about 12-15ms, which is acceptable. On an ARM: yay! well done. At http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/osdc/index.html#03 I reckon About 10 milliseconds latency is acceptable. Of the linux synths, TiMidity doesn't meet this; fluidsynth maybe just meets it, on a fast CPU. All the best with midigurdy.
