LMMS

LMMS is a free cross-platform (Windows and Linux) alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples. LMMS can also connect to any of your MIDI devices and allow you to perform live, all in a user-friendly and modern interface. Check out the "demos" page for an idea of what you can do with LMMS.
