First have a look at apps.linuxaudio.org ! Note: The applications mentioned there have very different quality and features, so it might take some time, until you find what works best for you. For Midi, pupular sequencers are: muse (use the cvs-version!), rosegarden, qtractor, non-sequencer, seq24 Some Trackers support midi as well (btrk IIRC) > What distro is best?

Then try Studio64, pure:dyne or Ubuntu Studio -- Emanuel _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
