Hello,
I recently installed lmms on Trisquel 6.0.1 and I found out that this program
recommends and supports nonfree VST(i) plugins. So I decided to install the
newest version[1] from source without a dependency on wine. Having VST
support in lmms is as bad as ndiswrapper.
Cadencii is a piano roll editor originally written for MacOS and Windows. It
was recently ported to GNU/Linux by a Debian maintainer, who decided to keep
VOCALOID support. But VOCALOID is nonfree and there is a free replacement
called vConnect-STAND that can run on free GNU/Linux distributions. However I
had patch both programs to run on GNU/Linux. I uploaded the packages to my
own server [2].
Many other audio programs in Trisquel are outdated, so I plan to set up my
own repository which contains up to date liberated "Linux Audio" packages. I
might even start my own distribution based on Trisquel, KXStudio and Ubuntu
Studio. It will include a realtime kernel and many other programs not present
in Trisquel.
