[00:08] <sem> There is also a linux-surface kernel, but it is not lowlatency
[00:09] <sem> but it is the one that handles touchscreens
[03:58] <Eickmeyer[m]> sem: I have a surface and have run the lowlatency kernel on it, but yes, you won't have the touchscreen. You *can* run audio without the lowlatency kernel, you'll just have to raise the jack buffer.
[03:59] <Eickmeyer[m]> Support for the linux-surface kernel in #linux-surface. Since it's not in the Ubuntu repositories, it can't be supported here.
[18:32] <sem> Oh cool, that is good to hear your experience
[18:32] <sem> I was hoping to get one of those touchscreen sampler grid things in software, but I am happy with the tradeoff for lowlatency
[18:33] <sem> I'm not exactly sure how to do live processing without a USB interface though, so I might be pretty lo-fi for a while
[18:37] <Eickmeyer[m]> You don't need the lowlatency kernel to use a USB interface.
[19:58] <sem> I'll have to see what kind of latency I get using one, but I don't have one yet
[19:59] <sem> I basically want to turn the linux computer into whatever effect pedal I want; but I have never used an effect pedal either, so i'll have to learn a lot
