Ardour 3 has midi but is available only as a dev version and I've heard is still very unstable and not really usable yet. It is however in very active development, so if you find a bug - report it!Ĭurrently, the only serious midi sequencer in the modular world. It's author considers it to be alpha stage. Also, no routing in the FX mixer, so you cannot use, say, a vocoder.

LMMS comes bundled with a built-in Zyn (selling point!), several other synths, including a very nice triple oscillator thingy with which you can build a whole arsenal of sounds, supports LADSPA plugins, automation (selling point!) and has controllers which allow you to assign LFO to stuff (selling point!)Īs disadvantage - no support for LV2, a bit confusing interface, not visually, but functionally - it is very difficult to switch between playing a pattern or a song or just one instrument and you have to constantly to bring various windows into focus to do that. In a modular environment it is a whole problem, especially if you have many instruments and effects used in your production. Why are IMEs cool? You can save a project with all your settings. It is what I call an Integrated Music Environment (IME). I've seen a good music program fail simply because it was not bundled with an inspiring demo song. And lack of normal demos does not help good publicity and does not inspire people.

The only thing EnergyXT does is run proprietary VST format, so it's sort of their selling point - hey, you can trade your freedom for several software synthesizers! The stereotype that proprietary software should be better is just a stereotype. When I just started out with Linux and was desperate to get some decent software, I actually thought that maybe I get EnergyXT, but when I tried the demo, I was amazed. i've yet to throw down the cash for energyXT (kind of goes against my principles on free/opensource software) but i'm considering itĪnywho. I've sort of made a ripple or two in LMMS.


but it is rather stubborn about deleting loops. with such a big love for detroit techno its rather ironic how i despise repetition in my own tracks.but song editor makes up for that easily. Seq24 its constantly looping.which is kind of nice, it keeps me organized, and my beats nice and tight and concise. anything can happen, as long as you avoid the thorns. other than that.rosegarden is exactly that.a garden of roses. my gripe with rosegarden is it's midi device management is rediculously sloppy, it's a bit too complicated to loop something and it's wayyy too crash-happy. this never-ending-time-line where i can utilize copy/paste to flush out a nice composition quickly. With rosegarden, i like having the open space to create what i want.

with seq 24 i can make some pretty tight grooves but they lack that full bodied composition feel that i got with my tracks using rosegarden. i honestly feel like my productivity has plummeted since i migrated to seq24. so, you have to be selective about what you are pitch bending. doing it this way you get a much broader pitch bend than you would using pitch bend in rosegarden, but this is also massively time consuming, having to record it separately and match the time in ardour. i like it but i don't think it supports pitch bend(?) no problem tho, i just link the soft synth to jack-rack running AM pitch shift. i've been using seq24 for the past six months. I *used* to use rosegarden.but honestly the new version's zoom wheels annoy me.
