Yeah I wouldn't use a fanless cpu, not nearly enough CPU power.

Heck when I play live sessions I just bring my entire custom built linux

PC which I then control through FreeNX on my laptop.

I use it exclusively as synth/rythm machine/midi sequencer.  I don't see

the point for a hardware synth.  Seems like a waste of money to me.

I'd rather spend some money on some cool midi controller pads or

something.
