I remember that somebody was posting about a Linux program, which aimed to be a native Linux music composing tool, similar to Fruity Loops. I didn't have time to try it at the moment, but now I would want to try it, and I couldn't find it using Google. Can somebody help me to find it, please?

Yessss, thanks.
I wouldn't use LMMS if you just want beats, it's still not very good yet. You can set up fruity loops under wine to work with your midi keyboard by installing it as a VSTi and using dssi-vst and jack-dssi-host or whatever they're called to run it. You have to do it that way because the using wine with JACK under the audio options doesn't detect your midi keyboard. I haven't used my linux partition for music production lately, but I'm just saying linux native programs aren't really there yet when it comes to good music production, not that fruity loops is super professional, but it's better than LMMS.
lmms is better than fruity loops in wine imo.

I have actually listened to some of the demos from LMMS, and I was utterly amazed. I already tried FL in wine, but it didn't really convince me about the being worth both the Wine problems and the somewhat stiff price, and I don't want to :pirate: it.
Acoustica Beatcraft, and Acoustica MixCraft 5 both work under Wine, and they are amazing apps for beat-making.
