Can a Raspberry Pi run CardinalSynth?

[CodyMarkix]

I've been thinking of making my MIDI controller more useful by shoving some speakers and a Raspberry Pi running a CardinalSynth patch into it along with a toggle to turn the Pi on/off, effecitvely turning it into a simple digital synth! :D

However if I'm going out of my way to do this, I'd like for it to at least run stably. I usually run my musical gear at 44.1kHz/256 samples so that's what I consider ideal. (I have some VSTs that only run at 44.1kHz for free, so that's why not 48 kHz. :3)

I wanted to ask this because while yes, CS does have ARM builds, the Pi ain't a supercomputer. And to be frank, I'm not sure what model I should get either 😅. Obviously I could get an RPi 5 and hope that it will run smoothly but if I can, I'd like to not spend $200 on just the Pi alone.

Since Cardinal runs single threaded only it would be best to have a device with a high clock speed over many cores.
Probably 4GB of RAM minimum to be sure. A Pi5 would work better than a Pi4.

Do you want to run headless or with the full UI on a screen?

I'd like to run headless as my controller has extra CC controls (faders, knobs) so I can control whatever patch I have loaded up with those :)
