>Will - you still making your little Yoshimi synthesizer boxes?
Yes. I've got two built ready to take to this year's SynthfestUK - I'm
being given a small bay there again this year :)
Each one is still slightly more refined than the previous one, but the SDcard
image is compatible with all of them, and the latest version includes
Rosegarden, Audacity, and a few utilities.
Availability of Raspberry Pi's is the biggest problem :(
