In recording studios and in general in the field of sound and music as well as in graphic design, the block system is used above all.
When we are going to record a disc, stability is very important, because it is a very big stick that while we are recording the disc, the computers crash, sending everything we have done so far to the M.
Well, with synthesizers the same, in each song we program several sounds in a certain order and if in the middle of a concert the system locks up and we cannot change the sound, we can see a rain of tomatoes without having the crystal ball in front of us to predict it .
Linux offers programs for sound editing and recording but unfortunately they are not up to the cost of record companies and that is why you cannot use Linux in a studio.
Even so, the Korg have managed to use Linux in their Oasys.
This synthesizer uses an operating system called Oasys System which uses a Linux base as the people of Korg inform us:
Powered by an ultra-fast computer processor and running newly developed proprietary software atop Linux underpinnings, Korg OASYS offers all the benefits of a variable software system, backed by the hardware integrity that can only come from a fully integrated instrument design.
Basically in this paragraph they are telling us that the processor is working with software built on the foundations of Linux.
As we can see in the image in this system we can control many parameters of the sounds such as volume, saturation and balance.
It also allows us to create new sounds from scratch or by mixing existing sounds.
It allows us to handle the sample to perfectly imitate any other instrument.
We can also see a 3-band EQ graph.
But not everything is gold that glitters and it is that the system is not free. From my point of view I think it would not be harmful to Korg if it were free since they would earn the same money from the sale of synthesizers and other instruments.
For those who do not know how to read code, it is not serious either because they will not be able to solve any code errors.
To finish I leave a demonstration in 3 parts made by Jordan Rudess, a pity that it is in English because it explains the operation of the synthesizer and therefore of the system:
It seems an interesting software, it is a shame about the license, not so much because I care that it is not free, but because if it were free they could receive more contributions from the community, on how to improve the system.
Total if with the pasture that the Oasys is worth (more than € 7000) they will not lack programmers, although it could be extended to other models and brands such as Roland or Kurzweil
