I am using EWI USB on Ubuntu Linux laptop: 6 year-old HP 2Ghz 1MB, it works

fine with Reaper under Wine with VSTs for Akai Aria USB Player,  Aria COMB2

with full player, Korg M1 DLE and SFZ+ player.  Also, Band in a Box under

Wine - in this config with BIAB playing the SFZ+ VST in Reaper as well as

live EWI the computer barely copes, due to insufficient memory and CPU - a

modern laptop should sail through, it just needs twice the memory and

processor power.
