No LV2 or
LADSPA support on Linux, though, although they say it's planned.
At least it supports Jack.
probably no Linux VST either, which essentially means no plugins at all? a
bit of
wild choice ...
No OSC either ... So we have a heavily crippled Linux version for 300
Euro?
Who will buy this?
Me.
Bitwig is a tool primarily for composition and live performance. You
don't need every single plugin out there for that, and Bitwig appears
to have enough built-in effects and instruments to get cracking.
I'm looking forward to both improved MIDI editing in A3 and whatever
Harry has in the pipeline for Luppp, but so far Bitwig looks like
exactly what I need for experimenting, trying ideas etc. In terms of
going from an idea to an actual sound that represents it no
DAW/sequencer I tried on Linux is good enough, in my humble opinion.
(At which point the usual LAU hell breaks loose, I suppose.)
