What is LMMS?
|
2005-09-22 13:49:52 +00:00
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LMMS aims to be a free alternative to popular (but commercial and closed-
|
|
|
|
|
source) programs like FruityLoops, Cubase and Logic giving you the ability of
|
|
|
|
|
producing music with your computer by creating/synthesizing sounds, arranging
|
2005-12-05 12:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
samples, using effects, playing live with keyboard and much more...
|
2005-09-22 13:49:52 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-12-05 12:26:16 +00:00
|
|
|
LMMS combines the features of a sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/
|
2005-09-22 13:49:52 +00:00
|
|
|
sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and
|
|
|
|
|
samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LMMS is still in heavy development, so with this version please don't expect a
|
|
|
|
|
complete, ready and bugfree program!!

Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The most important requirement is for sure a fast computer, so don't try to get
|
2005-10-20 13:02:26 +00:00
|
|
|
LMMS working on a pentium I with 60 MHz... ;-) Therefore you should have at
|
|
|
|
|
least 500 MHz, but for really enjoying LMMS less than 1 GHz makes no sense...

Before coding a new big feature, please ALWAYS post your idea and suggestions
|
2006-03-21 13:42:28 +00:00
|
|
|
about your feature and about the intended implementation to the
|
2005-09-27 13:10:34 +00:00
|
|
|
LMMS-devel-mailinglist (lmms-devel@lists.sourceforge.net) and wait for replies!
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe there're different ideas, improvements, hints or maybe your feature is
|
2007-08-20 12:12:43 +00:00
|
|
|
not welcome/needed at the moment.
