14.04 is starting to show its age... never mind. it's going to reach its EOL just in half a year. and everyone should be aware of it. at the moment, 16.04 is super stable, so there are no real reasons not to migrate to it. and 18.04 will become really usable in just a few months too (as it always h...

cool!
but please consider building also CLI version along with GUI, as described here:

i'll post deb package build procedure a bit later.

the best live-oriented software sequencer, period. i even regret a bit that i don't use it in my live setup anymore. :mrgreen: I heard of problems while building it and I would be also interested to test / use it. I think that this project is largely overlooked. :? for some obscure reason, i can bui...

bought a second hand Yamaha RM1x groovebox, so got rid of laptop in my live setup, and it's not Linux-based anymore, nor any other generic OS-based.

Linux machine with Harrison Mixbus is now for mixing/mastering tasks.

Why learn music theory?

the demo video above focuses more on its newer DAW-like capabilities.

yes, if EFI partition is present, windozes 7 and newer can convert its boot mode to UEFI too.

interesting.
so, my adored Retro AS-1 (if someone remembers it) may be working
