From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Try it out and let me know if it has support for stems and motorized platters. I want stems so badly.

I'm stuck using an ancient version of Serato when they arbitrarily decided to discontinue support for my beloved Numark NS7 II one day, just because "fuck you; buy new hardware". One thing that would certainly get me back into Linux and DJing in general would be support for my controller in software with modern features.

Yeah both serato and trakor from my experience are a bit like that in terms of "fuck you we are doing this" approach to their software.

I have just given it a quick 45 minute try (so not exhaustive) but unfortunately I don't think it is where you want it right now. My motorised platters do not work with it that I can see and I cannot find any mention of stems, it isn't something I use so I'm not that familiar with it.

The mapping on my controller seems to be pretty decent and the stems button I have does nothing so I'm guessing it isn't a feature yet to have any kind of implementation :(
