#### 16-step drum sequencer, synth piano roll, MIDI exporter & PCM WAV studio

A lightweight Linux alternative to FL Studio for 16-step drum sequencing, piano-roll synth composition, Standard MIDI export, and WAV rendering. Disclaimer: Independent open-source project, not affiliated with Image-Line.

Beat Sequencer Studio is a Linux alternative to FL Studio built for fast pattern-based beatmaking, subtractive synthesizer melody composition, binary Standard MIDI (.mid) export, and 44.1 kHz 16-bit Stereo PCM WAV rendering.

KEY FEATURES:
• 16-Step x 8-Channel Drum & Bass Sequencer: Interactive step grid with BPM (60-200), Swing %, and per-channel Volume & Pan using sample-by-sample DSP synthesis (808 Sub Kick, Crisp Snare, Closed Hat, Open Hat, Hand Clap, FM Rim/Tom, Acid Saw Bass, Pluck Arp).
• Subtractive Synth Piano Roll & Standard MIDI Exporter: Compose melodies on an interactive Piano Roll grid with Saw, Square, Sine, and Triangle oscillators, ADSR envelope, and resonant low-pass filter; render directly to 44.1 kHz Stereo PCM WAV and Standard MIDI (.mid).
• Multi-Channel Mixer, JSON Projects & Stem/Master Inspector: Mix drum and synth stems to a master WAV, inspect measured per-channel Peak/RMS dBFS levels, save/load JSON project files, and verify RIFF/MIDI headers and SHA-256 checksums on disk.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install Beat Sequencer Studio

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
