Both of these Linux vendors have created what you describe - definitely worth checking out if you are a performing musician. These machines transform into viable, usable instruments - you don't have to do much Linux hacking, you can just plug in and play, like any other electronic musical instrument, and some of the stuff in the NORNS community is amazing for live performance (actually most of it is):

Both systems will let you play with MOD DUO, which is a plug and play effects system that kicks serious ass:

Other than that - definitely check out Ubuntu Studio, as others have mentioned. I've been running it for a decade as a production DAW in my studio and it really kicks ass... you will be astonished at what is included, out of the box ..

- seclorum_wien 4y agoIf you have a Raspberry Pi, you can run ZynthianOS by just flashing the image and booting. You can also run Zynthian headless on your own RaspberryPi, should you have one available: https://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php?title=Beginners_Headless_Zynthian_Tutorial https://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php?title=Beginners_Headless... ZynthianOS can be configured with external MIDI controllers for the menus, etc. That might be a bit of work, but its definitely worth the effort, because ZynthianOS is just amaze-balls. NORNS too, its just astonishing the power in these little distros. As well as the original Zynthian, I also have Zynthian running on one of these: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/open-source-streamers/rasptouch-i-sabre-es9038q2m-streamer-with-touchscreen-32bit-384khz-dsd128-p-12181.html https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/open-source-streamers/rasptou... .. with a touch-pad, and its just such a tidy, neat system. I look forward to this particular flavour of machine becoming much more prevalent in the MI world ..

- stuntkite 4y agoI hadn't looked at the monome in a while. Neat. I just got a Clockwork Pi and I'm gonna test this stuff out on it!
