Beat Maker - call for testers for drum sequencer
Danilo Cesar Lemes de Paula is looking for testers for his Beat Maker drum sequencer: I  promised this new release for the end of the last year, but I delayed  it a bit due some changes in my professional and personal life. Anyway,  basically this release is about bug fixing and performance improvement.  It’s using less power now, and playing faster. The  deb is currently available from his website. Hoewever, being a random  deb from the internet, potential testers should - of course -  treat it  with care.
