how does this compete with puredata?
As in pd.

Re:Do Musicians care about Linux?
Sorry man, you are amazingly disconnected with the computer music scene. Although many of are enjoying macosx now, most of us know and like unix.
Perhaps its while we are using pure-data, or STK or maybe CLAM or by chance audacity
Linking is getting old, but being surronded by computer music, I promise you WE USE LINUX.
Kind Regards,

Re:Linus discovers priority inversions
yeah, once there is a pro quality audio sequencer with decent support for good virtual instruments...
as much as I like Linux on the desktop, saying 'music production on Linux really will rock' is kind of misleading... There just aren't the apps there.
sure, there's a decent multichannel hard disk recorder, and there's a bunch of interesting software packages you can run, but the sequencers tend to suck badly.
(correcting me by providing links to good sequencers would make me happy.... :)
If only we could get some high quality instruments... -
Pure Data
PD allows you to create any type of audio program or even video program using a graphic programming interface. Steep learning curve. Music Construction Set for Adults.

Re:nothing particularly groundbreaking about it
Anyone intersted in what's going on in computer music should look into these software packages: max/msp, reaktor, supercollider, melodyne, ableton live, absynth, Audiomulch. While I also use stuff like Reason, these programs are more "forward thinking" and non-traditional.
I'll just drop another one into the list, namely PD. PD (or Pure Data if you prefer) is written by Miller Puckette who worked on Max, and has since re-written it as PD. Can be downloaded from here and there is a very useful site here.
PD is particularly nice because as well as letting midi + audio flow between the blocks in a particular patch, it will also let you handle 3d graphics primitives thereby letting you create generative video as well as sound.

pure data
Pure Data is a real time sound-manipulation program that runs on Linux, Windows, and Mac Os X. You'll be able to design any kind of sound processing algorithms you like but be warned: only Linux gives you input-output latency as low as 3 milliseconds. In Windows you'll have to settle for 300 ms unless you buy some fancy audiophile soundcard that supports Steinberg's ASIO.

DIY - pure-dataif you're not averse to working out what you need to do on your own (there's a lot of literature out there on this subject), then i suggest PD (this is a nice place to start).
runs on windows (NT/etc.) and linux, OS X port is in the works, IRIX is also supported. it's fast and very flexible, and will support a simpler solution - like gating, matrixed switching (if you've got separated inputs at hand), whatever - if you find one. the pd-list is quite supportive.

Re:check out Demudipure data, aka PD.
this is a close cousin of max/msp (combined), by the original author of max, running on Irix, Linux, and NT. it doesn't have the same object variety or community size, but *you can fix that*. with both PD and max/msp (mac only), you can write your own low-level objects in C, if what's there doesn't work for you. hence extensibility, low latency, etc.
you could probably run it on an iPaq.
