> Only drawback seems to be it's gonna be difficult to get performance real-time enough to use as an actual musical instrument. Is there something specific about the MAME codebase that makes this an issue? There are quite a few software emulations of classic synths, for example Arturia's V Collection or the Plogue's Chipsounds - and those work perfectly well in real time even on lower end machines. Roland's Virtual Analog (I hate that term) and Plug-Out also exists, though I really don't want their cloud subscription just so I can download an instrument into a physical synth. But I'm not familiar enough with the MAME codebase to know if there's something in there that could cause issues.
