I agree totally Donny...
I have been considering a move to an I-Mac, but I might investigate Linux further I think, and just see what programs are out there.

The last time I really researched Linux+music was a few years ago.

Now, I THINK, Q-ranger and Q-tractor are both open source linux software,and Dom has ported them to run on his particular hardware configuration, as I said before I can see no reason why this could not be done on other hardware platforms as well.

But again, you are spot-on and you would think there would be more available, "PC"-wise.

Surely there is a programmer somewhere who could write this sort of software??

I am not a programmer, but maybe OMB itself could be modified to be a bit more generic...like...Jammer Live, which was really good and quick and I evne had the patches all set up for the Motif ES, but they stopped at version 1??

So maybe there is not a big enough market?

Then again with the financial crisis, maybe software can be viable again?
