Raspberry Pi 3 with 4.4.7 full preemptive realtime kernel running a synth

The Raspberry Pi came back to me…The RPI3 is running a Ubuntu Mate on top of a 4.4.7 linux kernel with full preemption. First I tried to get the zynaddsubfx running with a graphical system (desktop) but it works much better with a headless system and all unneccesary daemons running in the background stopped.
