Linux-Based Musical Keyboard Workstation Debuts

Posted by simoniker on from the thing-ized-thing dept.

Henry G. writes "Lionstracs of Italy has released the Mediastation X-76 music workstation. It runs Red Hat and KDE 3.1. The base model features a 1.67 Ghz Athlon, 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, CDRW/DVD-ROM, 8.2" LCD, and a host of other things. Full specs can be found here and pictures can be found here. To this submitter, it looks more like a keyboardized computer than a computerized keyboard."

      CABBAGE, actually, is the longest word you can write with musical tones. And Baggage. Face a baggage cabbage--look, whole sentences. The possibilities are virtually endless!

      Well, you could, arguably, write something in C#.

    I suppose it's appropriate if you're gonna be slashdotted.
