Greetings:
Recently I tested Robert Reif's ASIO driver for WINE. It works okay
for some small test apps (asiosiggen and asiodump). I also tested it
with NI's FM7, the app opens fine but I got no sound from it. I even
loaded and played a MIDI file as a demo but still got no joy from the
audio.
I'm curious to try other ASIO-driven apps but I need some
recommendations for light-to-middle weight programs for testing.
Free/shareware is best, but feel free to suggest commercial apps too.
I don't use Win/Mac music apps and I have no idea where to start.
Best,

I've played alot with M$ music apps, and the best in my opinion were
Reaktor and Kontakt2 sampler. Reaktor is what I wish Csound could
become. The pre-built synths people have made were/are amazing.
One thing that bothers me though, is why are Linux peeps playing with M$
apps instead of funneling that energy towards replacements in native Linux?
I can no longer support commercial software and the bizness model for
personal reasons, but I wish that Linux had a bit more to offer as far
as music creation goes.
Thats just ridiculous. Please investigate a bit more before saying
something like that. If what you wrote about Linux' lack of music cration
and stuff above was correct, I would never have used Linux, but instead
windows. I don't even know where to start arguing against what you say. If
I start mentioning some softwares, like snd or pd, that are much better to
windows alternatives or runs better in (and is developed primarily in)
linux than windows/macosx, I would just forget a lot of programs and
systems.
ouch...
i'll explain later when i have more time to write coherent thoughts.
