check this out: beat slicer with mpc 500 suport on linux!

not sure how many people here are using linux, but anyway heres a treat for you lucky few:

i've been folowing the development of this open source beat slicer over on the linux musicians forum.
there a new release, which is pretty damn good

https://github.com/rock-hopper/shuriken ... tag/v0.3.1

so much better than mpc maid for slicing. (which up till now was the only thing that worked on linux)

there is also mpc 1000 and 2500 suport but as far as i know only the mpc 500 support has been tested (on my mpc500 no less)

rock hopper has been great about implementing requested features, he's an all round great guy!

Thanks! Looks dope, I'll try it on Ubuntu.

^^^^sick!! thanks for the link, I've never **** with linux, I'm looking at this link now and doing hella research, is anyone running reason 7 on linux??? how is linux for music production??

how is music production on linux? good.

bitwig runs on linux, so if you like that sort of thing you're sorted. the other daw options include ardour, which is a bit like protools (no dsp hardware though). traktion which ive never used but heard positive words about, and qtracktor which is good but a bit retro. also worth mentioning is harrison mixbus.

there are lots of plugins available. no where near the amount on windows though.some good, some rubbish.

linux has a windows api called wine that lets you run many windows programs. it normaly works well for things like synth editors, and less well for DAWs but many people run reaper this way. no idea if reason works. if you want windows programs though, use windows, you will have less problems, i promise.

i personaly try not to use computers for music production, i like my tools to be real. i try to do everything in hardware until i mix down to stereo. but sample editing is so much easier with a computer.

i use linux because learned it in college in the late 90's and it stuck with me. i never liked using cracked software.

for anybody who's using this, there is a new version but there is no binary release yet so you have to download it with git and compile it yourself.

if that sounded like gibberish, then take heart, a new version is on the way.
