Okay, planting this seed to see what might possibly “grow”…

no idea what your question is, but raspis can be used to run linux, windows or atari TOS, and there are audio languages like pd or the max-releated RNBO stuff which let you build apps for such devices.

the korg wavestate and some other recetns synths are raspis inside.

if you like to have massive CPU power you would rather use M1 minis of course. (and yes, i mean including DIY hardware projects.)

I have Raspberry Pi 400, but I only can see it as competitor for PC, but not for PPC Macs..It more easy get multiple ADAT-connectors and multiple midi-ports to work in Mac OS 9 than with Pi (even now I don't know how to do it with Pi)
And have to remember if somebody thinking run Atari TOS on Pi, it is emulated on Linux, so not for realtime midi.

To me it is more useful than machines with Windows 11 or MacOS 11. But not useful as MacOS 9-MacOSX10.6 or Win98SE-WinXP machine.
