Easy to use graphical interface Open and well-documented data format Output to JACK Midi to facilitate co-operation with other audio applications
LinuxBand has been designed in a way that allows you editing the song using Chord sheet view and MMA editor at the same time. It other words, LinuxBand will not break the formatting of your MMA files.
You can use LinuxBand to quickly sketch the chord changes you will improvise over. Connect the LinuxBand to Ardour digital audio workstation or other audio recorder to record your playing in sync. Download the archive containing jazz standards, country and Latin songs from MMA examples page.
