1.5 GHz is really underpowered. As suggested, you might be able to trade increased latency for lower CPU usage. If that isn't satisfactory, the only way I can think to avoid a hardware upgrade is to record some of the synth parts as audio files. You can play a lot of audio files for the same amount of processing it takes to run a soft synth live. I have no idea what seq24 is like. I took a quick look at its page, and my impression is that Rosegarden isn't a suitable alternative suggestion. Rosegarden comes to mind for being able to mix MIDI and audio tracks in the same application (and because I work there, of course) but it looks like seq24 is a completely different animal. I'm not sure what you could do then. Does seq24 sync to JACK transport? Maybe you could record some of the tracks in Ardour or Rosegarden, and sync them to play with the live tracks in seq24. Just random thoughts really, and maybe stupid thoughts. The easiest solution would be to throw money at it, and get at least double the CPU power at your disposal. More RAM is always helpful too. -- D.
