Once I installed the deb utilities package this worked. Then when I tried to run it, an error window appeared and said that the licensing service would not work, and asked for a serial number, entering none or a wrong one of course made the program quit. I wrote to their support mail address, and the reply I got left me somewhat puzzled: they say they don't support Linux anymore (only up to version 1.2, only Debian, and there without certain MIDI functionality). Originally the idea for the Linux version came from one of their developers, who uses that platform, so supporting "all main OS platforms" seemed attractive at first, but can't be continued as until now noone but me had ever shown interest in trying or buying the Linux version. Then they suggested that I'd try the demo mode under Win or Mac and feedback my experiences. I answered in turn that I'm not interested in a Win or Mac version, and that as a musician I'm able to reharmonize melodies, so I'm not even sure I'm a potential customer, but I'd offer my help as I have experience as linux packager and also know a little programming... still waiting for their reply Edgar _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
