Has anyone made a playlist of music made on #MNT hardware? If you know of any tracks specifically made on the Reform or Pocket Reform can you please share them with me?

not yet, but there will be!

@lislegaard @andypiper would love to put together a playlist, do you know any other folks making music on MNT hardware?
Replying to @liaizon@wake.st
@eigenform is using a classic reform but not sure to what extent.
i'll try to remember to ping you once i start getting something to share. currently configuring things on mine :)
Replying to @lislegaard@sonomu.club
@lislegaard @liaizon @andypiper @artfwo I have both classic and pocket Reform, but barely use them for music outside of occasional experiments. The plugins in my live setup require a lot more CPU power than Reform provides even with RK3588, so my main machine for music is still Framework (which I have now upgraded to Framework Pro).
Replying to @eigenform@mastodon.social
@eigenform is it mainly the raw CPU power that's holding that back? Is the Quasar looking like a potential or that's still not enough of a boost?
Replying to @liaizon@wake.st
@liaizon I haven't tried Quasar yet, it might be an interesting potential system for the job indeed.
Apart from performance, RK3588 has loud noticeable high pitched noise from passive components when the system is under load (e.g. watching youtube), I recall I had reported that ages ago through the support system.
I had issues with realtime audio i/o on several different USB audio interfaces with RK3588 and prior SOMs.
Unfortunately, some rare proprietary plugins don't provide arm64 builds.
