    Check out VST virtual racks – audiogridder is one, there are others. I would assume any low-latency audio distr worth it’s salt would have it prewired…no idea what actual latency would be like, and how well it works.

    Muse receptor was a linux based “VST in a hw rack” soln for a hot minute … it was linux (maybe suse???) + wine + tweaks. the idea there was why run vsts on your computer, run them in a receptor and process the audio like hw synth…controlling the receptor via midi??? They can be found for cheap as chips today.

    This was a bigger thing back when 8 cores came from dual quad cores…not as big a deal today, when 8 core / 16 thread CPU laptops are consumer level devices.

    All of this is probably not very great workflow for someone looking for an integrated solution. Some people are into the journey, and that’s cool. Others just want to make music, and that’s cool too.
