It speaks volumes for the efficiency of Orion that I managed to get it working beautifully on an old Sony Vaio TR1MP laptop.
OK, I do need a new laptop (this one's got a 900mhz processor and 512MB RAM, 30GB HD) but Orion works really well on this with a couple of Toxics, drum machine, Triangle II and Crystal, no glitches, crackling or anything on it. Awesome.
Other music packages, such as FL Studio, have just tanked or sounded terrible.
Anyhoo, whereas using the laptop keyboard to tap out a quick melody is a very useful feature of Orion, I'm looking for a small MIDI keyboard that I can take around with me in my satchel with the laptop. Ideally something the size of a large paperback book, or something flat-ish.
Any ideas folks?
