There was a recent article in CDM covering android's new audio subsystem that should bring it somehow to about 10msec.<div><br></div><div><a href="http://createdigitalmusic.com/2012/07/android-audio-improvements-will-appear-first-on-galaxy-nexus/">http://createdigitalmusic.com/2012/07/android-audio-improvements-will-appear-first-on-galaxy-nexus/</a>

okay i read up a bit more and i understand there's a gap in the market<br>
<br>
it's a cheeseball chip on an android pad, so, it's not interesting for sonic innovation, but it's not aimed at that.<br>
<br>
the problem is that android, due to variability in the platform hardware, and various os-level design issues, prevents apps from designing-in a reliable low audio latency<br>
<br>
by adding this chip from yamaha, they get to do audio on separate hardware, presumably at <10mS latency. so, there's some kind of a market for that.<br>
<br>
whether addressable by something like this... well, that's a different issue.<br>
<br>
the choice here is to go with android, probably cos they liked the GUI, and one can make an argument (presumably tagged on after the initial idea) that there's some reason why network/social integration is valuable in the product (most will already have a phone for these things, so i'm not convinced).<br>
<br>
it's ironic that the arm could itself run audio, leveraging off the huge amount of audio software that already exists.<br>
<br>
albeit not with the 256-voice polyphony that this device no doubt offers ;)<br>
<br>
so you never know<br>

-Noisy keyboard: Yes, hope that gets fixed in the production hardware (this<br>
is obviously not production hardware, at least one hopes it isn't..) -<br>
Changing knobs - definitely needs a GUI redesign to make the touch screen<br>
more useable. Same problem with all soft-synths: knobs don't make sense<br>
here. - Cool visualization - yeah, not terribly exciting, but then again the<br>
direction that this first step indicates could be *quite* exciting.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I hope we find more about it soon ..<br>

- Extremely noisey keyboard - Look at him trying 3 times to change the<br>
value of a knob and it just doesn't work - The 'cool visualisation' is a 10<br>
year old demo from nVidia on fluid simulation<br>
<br>
Sound like a lot of BS to me ;)<br>
<br>
It's funny that when everybody wants to touch a screen surface I want to<br>
touch knobs and sliders ;)<br>

that plus the fact that the number of developers is equal to or less<br>
than the number of units made, makes it a strange proposition.<br>

Gotta boot the project somehow. I'm definitely highly interested in this<br>
device .. its a little bit too close to what I thought Access should have<br>
been building in 2002. So I'll definitely turn my hairy eyeball on this<br>
machine and try to get more technical details ..<br>
