I've been a bit lately getting into music, mostly live playing. I've been gathering some hardware synths, I have a guitar and well... most of the software for all these synths is Windows or Mac. No Linux. My latest addition, a Novation Circuit Tracks, has its software run as a webapp, using some kind of "WebMIDI" implementation. In Linux it reads, and allows some things, but when you try to upload a whole pack or a big sample, it fails. I thought "Oh, well, another for the Windows VM". Some...
