If my Akai MPC dies.. (it's nearly 10 years old) do I go to another OS (probably the fruity one based on BSD)... for Ableton or do I stay on the hardware side (especially for Live performance)and not have to rethink my entire strategy... I think LMMS is starting to approach Reason, which is definitely more studio oriented than live oriented.... A simpler solution would be something akin to rolands variphrase/varisampler functionality being built into linux sampler.. which could be driven by seq24... definitely not a full blown AL replacement but quite neat.. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
