Thought you guys might be interested in this. Apparently the devs are disgruntled former Ableton devs. It looks very similar to Live, but with some extra goodies. And, of course, it's will run on Linux.

it takes my breath away Native modular system!!!
will i am running live 7 on Linux with Wine but Live 7 its a bit unstable on wine
Bitwig is some thing l look forward to.

The bad side is that it's not open source. It would be cool if they only could release their API so as to let us develop things around the soft itself. I'm eager to know the license's price too.

if they price reasonably (let's say, Reaper-like) this could be a killer SW, with large user base.
Moreover, that fact that it is linux-native (even if not open-source), well, that's probably the big step!
Let's see..

I agree. Open source or not, releasing commercial software on Linux should at least get people who are hesitant to consider Linux a viable option, which, in turn, will help introduce people to more open source options. And having more commercial software available on Linux shows that more people are, in fact, taking it seriously.

Looks like they are having server trouble? It's 7:00am in Germany right now...

EDIT:

I was unable to connect to their site for awhile. Seems OK now, several days later...

I Love Ableton Live, but if version 9 doesn't has Linux support, I will try Bitwig. amazing news to linux community
