It’s available for both Linux and Windows (NEW: 64 bit version).
I am using it!
LMMS is a free cross-platform 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. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more; all in a user-friendly and modern interface.
Warning!
- The program is installed in “Programs (x86)” folder by default although you downloaded 64bit version, and you have to change the folder when you install LMMS.
- You cannot change the language of the interface. I want English, but it’s blend of Swedish and English.
Changes in version 0.4.7:
Core:
- AutomationEditor: thread-safe handling of AutomationPattern pointer
- InlineAutomation: delete attached AutomationPattern immediately (fixes some random crashes when playing on virtual keyboard)
- EnvelopeAndLfoParameters: moved global instances management into helper class (fixes crashes when importing MIDI files)
- NotePlayHandle: fix broken note detuning feature
- AudioJack: do not use QVector in processCallback()
GUI:
- Themes: explicitely set background and text color for tooltips
- ExportProjectDialog: guess file format from extension
- Fixed cloning of BB tracks
- When cloning BB track, indicate this fact in name of cloned BB track
- TrackContentObject: keep position in paste()
- Default theme: replaced background artwork with a more decent one
- TextFloat: fixed size calculation in simple mode
- “Save changes?” dialog: Save/Discard instead of Yes/No
Plugins:
- CALF LADSPA plugins: resynced with Git repository
- LadspaEffect/Controls: fixed non-working global channel link checkbox
- Sf2Player: disable per-note-panning support for the time being
- SpectrumAnalyzer: skip processing if UI is not visible
- ZynAddSubFX: new background artwork
- ZynAddSubFX: updated to version 2.4.1
- ZynAddSubFX: allow hiding UI by closing main window
- ZynAddSubFX: added window icon (win32 version only)
- ZynAddSubFX: save configuration file in LMMS working directory
- ZynAddSubFX: added knobs for MIDI controls
- ZynAddSubFX: new QtXmlWrapper, a QtXml-based XML backend for ZASF
Misc:
- Improved .desktop and menu file
- Do not use -ftree-vectorize per default anymore
- Win32/Win64 installer associate LMMS project files with LMMS

It took so long to upload files to the server. There are too many who use this server right now. My site has limited clients at one time that I know now – actually only 5 clients. Petty!
Current version of MidiToWav is 2.0.3.102
And Wav2X is 1.0.2.15
BASS FILE has been updated, and I update MidiToWav.
And audio components have also been updated, and I update Wav2X.
For the sake of simplicity, I have packaged them in separate files. And you can download it from here.
Note:
If you are satisfied with the previous version, you have no reason to download them.

Freeware software synthesizer “Synth1″ by Daichi has been updated to version 1.12.
Synth1 homepage is here:
http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/
And you would like to read this page.
http://www.geocities.jp/daichi1969/synmanu/readmeeng.html
Important
When you install Synth1, you do the number 2 first then the number 1 – it is wrong in his manual (section with “Installation and Uninstallation”).
It says that “Fixed a bug that hangup when tempo cahnge.(DXi)”, but this bug is still there.
Difference to the older version, it’s VSTi. I was using 1.07.
Anyway, it’s an excellent SYNTHE, even for free! 
Not splendid but pretty good sound with different sizes. They are handy!
Page owner says:
This page is now on a new server, and downloads are handled via FTP. To keep free soundfonts free, the bandwidth must be controlled. If you get an error message from your browser when you select a download, try again in a few minutes – it just means that all connections are busy. Also, please don’t try to download more than one file at a time – you are limited to only a single connection and will get that error message again. Once a file is complete, you can download another. Thanks for your understanding.
It may not call large files these days, but there are many Mega bytes SoundFont there.
I tried them with my MidiToWav, and it felt a bit odd because it sounded very different from the Sequencer’s sound, but nice tuned!
PersonalCopy (http://www.personalcopy.com/)
Follow the link SoundFont!
There are free MIDI files and stuff too.
It feels 8MB Creative Labs SoundFont sounds better to me after all.
I have uploaded “Bach02.ZIP” content to:
http://www.esnips.com/web/BachConcerto.
They are re-sequenced and re-recorded and and even a bit better sound, I think anyway.
Now you can download for each MP3 file.
Concerto for Two Harpsichords and Orchestra (BWV 1060)
- Allegro
- Largo ovvero Adagio
- Allegro
Concerto for Three Harpsichords, Strings and Continuo in C Major (BWV 1064)
- Allegro
- Adagio
- Allegro

Now I have appropriate soundcard driver for Seven and tested MidiToWav on seven.
And it works!
If you use Seven, you can use any version you want.
XP users have almost the same frontend as a precursor. Only larger buttons now.
Both images are MidiToWav running on Vista.
