What I really, really miss in Linux audio/midi wise, are apps that plug-in to the host sequencer which would be Muse, Rosegarden right now. Using Reaktor in Sonar, which I've been playing with this winter, is so convienent. You can have any number of Reaktor ensembles as synths or fx all plugged into your piece, and every time you open that document up, every little detail is restored. I don't understand why there isn't a Ladspa synth building application. Also the soft-synth scene in Rosegarden/Muse is extremely weak if its there at all, (Fluid)?.
