I am trying to connect  a USB MIDI velocity sensitive drum controller to the beaglebone and use SDDM to create the sounds.  \r\n\r\nI am new to Linux and embedded Linux but have a lot of coding experience otherwise. Do you think it would be possible to run SDDM on this Beaglebone Black or do you have any other information to steer me in the right direction of accomplishing this?\r\n\r\nBest,\r\nAaron"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kellyschrock/SDDM/issues/comments/74358754","html_url":"https://github.com/kellyschrock/SDDM/issues/1#issuecomment-74358754","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/kellyschrock/SDDM/issues/1","id":74358754,"user":{"login":"kellyschrock","id":3776973,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3776973?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock","html_url":"https://github.com/kellyschrock","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kellyschrock/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-14T03:02:13Z","updated_at":"2015-02-14T03:02:13Z","body":"Hi Aaron,\r\n\r\nThat is a cool idea. I haven't tried running SDDM in a while. I have a BeagleBone Black, and I wonder how well it would deal with playing the samples. For speed's sake, SDDM pre-loads all of the samples into memory, so a good-sounding kit can take 200MB or more. When I was actively developing SDDM, it was getting about 20-30ms latency on a dual-core Pentium machine (so long ago, I forget what the processor was called!) At high load, it would increase. On slower machines, it had trouble keeping up. By \"high load\", I mean when a lot of notes are active. I used one of the NS7 kits which had extremely long decay time on some of the samples. The ride cymbal sample, for example, would ring for nearly a minute. When doing a repeating pattern with a lot of ride-cymbal activity, there might be 400 notes playing at the same time. I designed SDDM to have \"unlimited\" polyphony (instead of, say, 32 voices), and I now know why that's not a great idea.... you need a supercomputer to play all the samples. :-) Mind you, this was while the machine was also running Ardour and recording a lot of tracks, so I guess it wasn't too bad.\r\n\r\nIf you're going to run on a BBB, I would suggest getting rid of the UI. I originally wrote SDDM as a command-line app which read its configuration from an XML file.\r\n\r\nVery interesting about your USB MIDI controller. Is it something that's sold on the market, or something you've built?\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nKelly\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
