What is your favorite FOSS for music making / performance?

Feel free to describe what you use it for, and how you use it.

PD? Supercollider? Ardour? Zrhythm? LMMS? Bespoke? Csound?

Something completely else?

Give me all your thoughts 💙

(FOSS only, because.. you know.. political reasons... And I already know enough about the corporate mainstream softwares)

I mostly use non-foss DAWs (Reaper and Bitwig), but I use a lot of foss plugins.

I really like Bespoke for performance/jamming cases, but I didn't use it a lot lately.

And PlugData is also great, but I barely scratched the surface of it and I mostly use it for prototyping stuff I plan to reimplement in other ways.

@oleksiy @lislegaard Since mine main workforce is my modular and some other mostly analog gear, I decided to go with puredata vanilla. Plugdata runs quite badly on my 3wm arch Linux.
