I got a new keytar as a gift yesterday. It's a MIDI controller only. I want to play this thing in band, but don't know what to connect it to. What's your favorite softsynth for playing live? Name presets, if you use them. Mostly classic rock. I prefer poly -- I can't keep myself from playing chords, even in lead lines. MacOS or maybe iPad.
This weekend I configured a #RaspberryPi with an attached screen as a budget #MIDI synthesizer. My goal is to use it with my #keytar along with a portable speaker to help get things portable until I get a real synth.
Dealing with latency on the Pi was a challenge. I had to strip the OS down to practically nothing!
