Intel Compute Stick

Post by tlaskows »

We got way OT on another thread.

But this is what will make Scope technology portable very soon. I saw this the other day when I was at my local PC shop. The major problem is that this specific one does not have any interfaces.

But this will run most of your VSTs. Hell, it will even run Diva with few voices.

Cheers,

Yes, it does. This will allow you to hookup a MIDI USB keyboard and play stuff, but it will not run PCI or an Xite-1. I am saddened :(

I don´t believe it will do heavier audio/MIDI tasks.
All mobile is optimised for low power consumtion, passive cooling and consumer tasks.
It´s a toy.

It depends what CPU is in there. I know my core-m dual core 800MHz is very fast. But of course, there's no way to turn off speedstep on a laptop, so you may be correct. I may load up Studio One on it and run Diva just to see. I am very curious on how it will perform. I know that before I disabled speedstep on my desktop music machine, Diva was killing the CPU.

BTW, core-m processors are way better than those Atoms. Totally different architecture methinks.

Well, this seems to be impossible to do, because Studio One 3 Artist for some reason wants a lot of money just to support VST :)

Cakewalk will load any VST I throw at it 32bit or 64bit, they all work. And cost me around $100.

Good for the future of synthesizers in general. What I want to know is, when the hell will midi and audio be wireless?

I am not sure. I mentioned somewhere that the Apple wireless MIDI protocol is documented. It is available for Windows, but I haven't played around with it yet.

Good but until it is widely implemented, it's useless.
