What is LMMS?
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio
|
|
(R), which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the
|
|
creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and
|
|
arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more;
|
|
all in a user-friendly and modern interface.
|
|

|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The most important requirement is for sure a fast computer, so don't try to get
|
|
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...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required libraries:
|
|
|
|
- Qt >= 4.3.0 with devel-files (4.4.x recommended)
|
|
|
|
Optional, but strongly recommended:
|
|
- JACK with devel-files
|
|
- libvorbis & libogg with devel-files
|
|
- libalsa with devel-files
|
|
- SDL with devel-files
|
|
- libsamplerate >= 0.1.7 with devel-files
|
|
- libsndfile with devel-files
|
|
- WINE + WINE-devel-files
|
|
- stk, libstk + libstk-dev
|
|
- libfluidsynth with devel files
|
|
- fftw3 with devel-files
|
|
- libfltk1.3 with devel-files (needed by ZynAddSubFx)
|
|
|
|
For compiling you should have an up to date GCC with g++.
|
|
|
|
If you have problems with compiling or running LMMS, find any bug or have
|
|
suggestions and so on, please feel free to e-mail me (for mail-address see
|
