Actually not a bad song [0]. Thanks to whoever made this, I guess :D

I had to use that one for this demo for obvious reasons, but if I'm allowed the shameless plug, I actually make my own music in the same genre (Touhou rearrangements) [0]. I'm actually very much looking forward to moving my music production to M1 and seeing what the real-time performance is like, though that will depend on us having at least a usable Rosetta-like thing on Linux to run x86 Windows apps (which will allow me to bridge the few x86 Windows plug-ins I rely on with yabridge, as I do today on x86) :-)

Awesome! I'll take a listen and play it during my all-nighter tonight. Best of luck getting that M1 Mac working, I'm really liking mine so far!

That's awesome! I'm definitely thinking about getting an M1 for realtime keys, though I'm all set up in Logic/MainStage so I'll probably stick with macOS for now :)

On the Linux side, would qemu user-mode emulation work for that (maybe with a patch to take advantage of the M1's switchable-memory-order thing)?

I think qemu would work fine, but it's pretty slow, so I'm hoping it can either be improved or another project more focused on this use case can do it better.

If nothing else though, I plan to expose at least the TSO feature of the M1 so qemu can reduce the overhead of its memory accesses.

Wow I can't believe I just realized why Bad Apple is used for this, 2-3 hours after reading the article…
