Tracktion will release new DAW -"Waveform" also for Raspberry Pi

[eric71]

There's been a little discussion at their KVR froum, and some pre-NAMM videos out there. I got an email from Tracktion this morning spelling the news out a little more clearly. Looks like some dedicated mixer views are coming to the interface, and things have been streamlined enough that it will run well enough on Raspberry Pi and they will be focusing on the platform. This suggests an increasing commitment to Linux. Can't wait to play with it. I've missed having a dedicated mixer in Tracktion, and hopefully if more users come for the Raspberry Pi compatibility, they will also come looking for more native Linux vsts... Or perhaps LV2 compatibility some day. I can dream, at least...

"The new Waveform DAW (above) takes all the key aspects of the T-Series, such as the ability to control all functions from a single screen, and adds a set of powerful features designed to speed workflow and provide a more universal appeal. The most obvious of these new features is a dedicated mixer page and a new suite of powerful plugins but all aspects of Waveform have been updated and streamlined. Current users of Tracktion's T5, T6 and T7 DAWs will be able to upgrade to Waveform as usual.

Both Waveform and the BioTek Organic Synthesizer can be seen operating on the latest generation of single-board computers , as represented by the Raspeberry Pi, at our NAMM booth. A new initiative to provide a range of software and hardware peripherals to expand the utility of these small, inexpensive computer platforms for the “maker community” was also announced."

Oh, and a video of it running on a Pi.

This is a very exciting development.
