The main difference is that A/DeMuDi is free. I don't think there is any competition. I expect the Fervent system will have a more up to date version of Rosegarden, which will probably work out of the box. I wonder if it might provide a similar kind of one-pointed 'pro-audio' support for Ardour and other applications as has been suggested else-thread? cheers tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk
