Comparing to LMMS, there is no submodule. However, a few extra libs are required, which are all available in kxstudio/ubuntu repositories. At this time, this is mostly libmad for mp3 reading and normalize-audio. But lv2 stuff others like bpm-tools, aubio, rubberband may be added soon.

Contrary to the common belief, this branch is more stable than the regular LMMS' branches and adds dozens of extra features. It is also backward compatible. However, since major bugs have been fixed, your projects may sound slightly different.

This branch is developed under and for Linux, while keeping portability in mind. Looping is currently global but implementing it per track is planned, with many other things like MIDI mapping and configurable controller links.

Contributions are welcome (clean, modular design is important, refactoring will happen anytime soon), but anything touching the core or the data model must be discussed first.

Great fork just installed and looks interesting, expecially the loops buttons on the main seq window, little buggy but working after understand it! Hope you gonna add more buttons for more loops in a row!

@matt-bel Thanks. Sorry for the late answer, November and December are always very busy months for me. Development should restart this month. The number of loops will be configurable (1,4,8,16), these numbers matching many midi controllers. Also the plan is to have independent play cursors (one per track), which would allow launchpads to be use (8x8). Concerning the bugs, some have been fixed, some have been introduced by the new features, some by the new version of the libs (I recently switched to ubuntu cosmic). Anything causing crashes or data losses will be fixed ASAP.
