I suppose that by "exclude" you mean you want to avoid interacting with your laptop directly? I don't know what platform you are on but you may want to consider using a netbook. It gives you more power than a beagle board, you can develop/test your stuff right on the thing, it is small and you could even fit it in a small backpack that you could carry on stage. If you are familiar with linux you should search linux-audio-users list for some info about getting it done. Ivica Ico Bukvic (who is also on this list) does a laptop orchestra with netbooks running linux, Ken Restivo uses an eepc for live shows as a softsynth and DSP (IIRC) and I was recently involved in a project where a mobile setup with netbooks, speakers and microphones was used and carried by musicians in backpacks: http://vimeo.com/12997228 -- ./MiS _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
