What you can do with LMMS and a MIDI keyboard!
This video shows what you can do (at the basic level) with the free software “LMMS” in combination with an entry-level keyboard, including synthesisers, samples (under creative commons license) and more. I am still a keyboard novice (in my opinion), but am certainly enjoying the sorts of things possible with LMMS.
The PC used to render the music is 4 years old, with average specs – AMD 3400+, 1GB RAM. I’m using XP because Ubuntu hates my keyboard.
More info is available as you watch the video.

Okay, thank you. LMMS is very similar to FL Studio? Would you use FL and Pay for it, or would you use LMMS with lower functionality but for free???
