Anyone tried it? what do you think of it?
I think its kinda neat, and i would've use it if it weren't for some flaws and lacking features.
i think the setup were you can have either a looping beat/baseline or normal tracks with audio or midi-pianoroll is GREAT! The beat/baseline editor is one loop wich can control any channel you have access to in the program but that loop is the the only thing that can be played on that track, it works just like whole FL-studio does, looping is easy but composing long tracks is less effective. the the normal pianoroll tracks work just like in say, rosegarden where the track controls only one channel and can be endlessly varied whitout adding new tracks and looped through copying midi clips.
As for the drawbacks in LMMS i have experienced it crash several times, And there is no feature to change time signature and thats just stupid i think. You cant do it in FL-studio either and i wonder why are peaple releasing sequencers with that kind of simple limitation? Especially for FL-studio wich you have to pay for. it just puzzles me.
And i also miss a mixer in LMMS. IF it were not for lacking these features i would use it extensively i think.
