It enables you to create melodies
and beats and to create, mix, and arrange sounds and
samples, and will even import Fruityloops project
files. It allows access to LADSPA effects and is
compatible with many standards such as SoundFont2,
VST(i), and GUS Patches, and offers full MIDI/MIDI
project files support. LMMS is multiplatform
(Windows, Linux).
If you’re a musician or just curious
about creating music, and if you’ve been looking for
a viable freeware/open source alternative to paid
music creation software then take a look at this
one. LMMS (short for Linux MultiMedia Studio, but
yes it runs on Windows) is an ambitious open source
project that, although still in its early stages,
nonetheless manages to deliver a complete music
authoring platform that comprises the following:
- A sequencer: including a
bassline editor as well as a so-called Piano
roll for editing/creating patterns and melodies.
- Software sound synthesis, mixer, and
effects: with 64 FX mixer channels,
audio sample playback, and the ability to
implement any number of effects.
- Support for a wide range of
technologies: including SoundFont2,
VST(i), LADSPA, GUS Patches, and full MIDI
support.
