I know you are an audio guy, I also wrote low-latency audio software. I was just saying that setting HIGH_PRIORITY on the audio running thread and it's feeding threads is enough, you don't need QNX. Python has the GIL problem, but that is another story.
For a simple audio app like this synth on a modern CPU it's kind of trivial to do it in any language if the buffer is >40 ms. I'm talking about managing the buffers. Running the synth/filter math in pure Python is still probably not doable.
Sure, but 40ms for a synth intended to be played is generally the kiss of death these days, unless you target audience are all pipe organ players ...
