It lacks some of GigaStudio's abilities, such as being able to add a plugin, no mixer, no audio output routes, but it's clean and VERY simple to use. While I'm not really able to use LS yet for synths or orchestral yet, at this level many of the drum gig files work just fine if you're looking for a MIDI driven drum unit. I also use it for odd stuff, like vocal loops and weird sound files where an odd difference from GSt wouldn't be such an issue. As always, Rui's work just continues to be so grat at the user level. QjackCtl, QSampler, QSynth, are all so clean & simple. All a real pleasure to use. Have fun, Mark
