Recently #released on #streaming platforms: A new rendition of "Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-Sharp Minor, Op. 27 No. 2, "Moonlight Sonata": I. Adagio sostenuto" by Ludwig van Beethoven. This take is a bit faster than most versions, but I find I quite like it.

Installed Linux MX on my 12 yo Lenovo Z500. After some tweaking, it records and playbacks just perfectly, at 96kHz and a still acceptable 8ms latency (4ms, if I would play 'normally').
My typical stress test (running ridiculously fast arpeggiators and changing params in real time) turned out so much fun, that it'll become my new project!
Thanks @mxlinux #Reaper, #Pianoteq, #SurgeXT for making it possible!
