'''The answer is that it can be done''', it just takes some knowledge of commands to launch and start Jack audio server, as well as launching keyboard emulators and making the appropriate connections (patches) via the Jack audio server.
Over the next few months, I will be posting on this page discuss in the WIKI how to use Linux Ubuntu Studio for live performances. Contrary to other Internet postings, you don't have to use an application such as '''Reaper''' ''(although that approach would make it more user-friendly for non-Linux users or "Newbies")''. Instead, a well-written Bash shell script can be used to launch Jack and necessary keyboard applications such as '''Qsynth''' '''(Piano, and other sound-font voices)''', as well as '''Bristol Organ Emulator''' '''(Hammond B3, Vox, Rhodes Piano, Phophet5, Juno, Moog, etc)'''.
Therefore, you can switch to different voices by switching to different transmitting <u>MIDI channels</u> (which may be more convenient than pointing and clicking on an instrument icon via the Reaper or Cubase applications (which are not free applications). I have used MS Windows OS with '''Native Instruments Hammond B4, and other Native Instruments applications''', so I have some experience when comparing open-source software against proprietary software (i.e. pros vs cons).
