Topic: USB memory bootable Pianoteq Expander
To use PianoTeq with high performance (e.g. low latency), the installation needs strong PC, or good skills in Windows OS tuning (some friends are not able to use the demo !).
Some dummies does not take care about the integration with plenty of other softwares. They need an "expander", with super piano sound, no latency, Midi-In, Line-Out. Nothing more.
Idea : why not an "USB memory bootable Pianoteq Expander".
A "software package" is downloaded on a USB memorey key.
The packages embends :
- the minimum of a free real-time OS (e.g. Linux based), which avoid the loose of performance due to Windows OS.
- the midi drivers, for a panel of recommended and basic USB-MIDI interfaces
- the sound drivers, for a panel of recommended and basic sound-cards
- the Pianoteq "engine"
- the Graphic User Interace to tune the PianoTeq sound
- a boot sector to make the USB key bootable
The user boots on this USB memory key.
The PC becomes a dedicated MIDI Piano expander, with Midi-in, midi-Thru and Line-Out R/L.
To have the maximum of performance, the user does not have to tune the operating system, etc...
To be more easier, PianoTeq can sell the USB memory key itself, with the software package pre-installed (no technical skill at all for the very-dummys !). The cost of USB memory key is pinuts today.
To be more easier again, the USB key can embends a basic sound card for the very-very dummys (see an example with a basic GM sofwtare expander without latency in the concurrence ...).
The client buys this "USB Pianoteq key", plugs Line-Out, plugs his MIDI keyboard, boots on the PC, and have a full expander with the best piano of the world !
