 | Hi all,

Fine, I am glad, thanks Tapani Räikkönen  for building our kernels

 | I repeat, this happens only with :
 | midi keyboard --> midi in to freewheeling -->midi out to zynadd -->
 | audio out back to freewheeling --> audio out to alsa_pcm
 |

Well, that's a good point ;-),

 | It has not hard realtime capabilities.

 | keyboard in zynaddsubfx, there is no sound saturation !!!!! So, it

You are making history ;-) hehe, free software is experimental, so, you are 
helping everybody with your discovery 

 | Thank you guys!
 |
 | Good point is that I now really have a realtime kernel :-)

Hehe, you can try anotherones, but this one should be tested, because we want 
to include some 2.6.21* into Musix 1.0

 | I'll see what happens with this new project, and keep you informed.
 |
 | Another solution is if it is possible (I have to ask zynadd mailing
 | list), is to say, ok..zynaddsubfx just process midi events in the note
 | range X-->Y, and freewheeling to process midi events in the note range
 | Y+1 --> Z.
 | That would avoid freewheeling to filter and pass the midi events it
 | gets to zynaddsubfx. What do you think?

I really dont know :(
