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 samples, playing live with keyboard and much more...

LMMS combines the features of a tracker-/sequencer-program (pattern-/channel-/ sample-/song-/effect-management) and those of powerful synthesizers and samplers in a modern, user-friendly and easy to use graphical user-interface.

Linux MultiMedia Studio project is still in heavy development, so with this version please don't expect a complete, ready and bugfree program!!

With LMMS you can produce electronic music via your computer, so you don't have to buy expensive hardware for having great sounds and making cool music. Of course no software can replace real hardware-synths, but you'll have still much fun with LMMS!

LMMS provides software-synths, cool presets for them and also some essential samples. For getting started with LMMS you can take a look at the demo-songs.
