KORG's New Synthesizer is based around a Raspberry Pi 3

It has been discovered that KORG's new synthesiser, the WaveState, is based around the Raspberry Pi 3 compute module! This is an astonishing development from a manufacturer that has a long history of developing its own silicon.

It will be really interesting to see the mods and community that form around the wavestate considering the high degree of hackability raspberry pi presumably brings.

Must be baremetal though. Can’t really see any good reason to why this would run linux. In fact I can see a few reasons not to run linux in this

From the github repo it's very clearly running linux. I'm confused... talk about bloatware. And it must had so much latency as well.
