Looking for testers for my DAW: OMNI! (Windows / Linux) 🎧🚀

Does Omni have a "playlist/jukebox" mode? Where on can create a live gig setlist of projects, pre-prepared?

Sonar/Cakewalk used to have one and it was useful (hahaha when it worked) and Reaper has not been able to nail this. Several have tried with various scripts and networked browser screens etc, but most are clunky, very awkward ti set up and are not really all that conducive to the live paradigm.

How do sandboxed plugin windows behave? Does running a plugin in a separate/dedicated process on Linux integrate stably with the DAW, or do the windows "float" over the interface and, for example, lose focus in tiling window managers? (In Omni, isolated CLAP/VST3 plugins integrate seamlessly inside a single interface thanks to our custom IPC).

What happens when a plugin crashes during scanning? Can it freeze REAPER's entire startup process, forcing you to kill it in the terminal? (In Omni, the plugin scanner runs in a dedicated sandbox—if a plugin crashes, the scanner process dies, the plugin is blacklisted, and the DAW continues to boot up).

Does PipeWire integration work "out of the box"? Does REAPER automatically adjust to the system server's sample rate, or does it require launching through wrappers like pw-jack?

How do you handle a clip and sequencer-style workflow? For Live Looping or an advanced step sequencer (e.g., with note randomness and probability), do you have to install JSFX/ReaPack scripts, and how does that cooperate with the Undo/Redo system of the entire project? (In Omni, this is a native part of the DAW's core).

I'd love to hear how this looks from your side, because we want Omni to be the best possible environment for uncompromising Linux users!

plugins 'float" as you put it

if a plugin crashes it does not crash Reaper, that plugin is then blocked for that session.

Reaper even allows individual project over-riding of the preset sample rates. It can be made to run at different rates to the system rates as well.

live looping and sequencing are not strong areas. scripts are what a lot of users adapt to.

Not yet, but Omni's architecture was designed specifically with this in mind and is fully prepared for it.

cool, does this mean it will be included at some point in the near future?

The more I read the more I think I'd like to give this a good trial!

Yes, in the future, maybe. For now, we need to bring what is there to stability

Well if it can load projects quicker than Reaper it might be worth trying it? Are you still after beta testers? If so, send me a PM and I'll give you my details

Here's the latest build for Windows and Linux. Any comments are welcome. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

OK got it figured - haha, still a bit new to Linux. About to give it a try

headless_test.exe
omni_host.exe
omni_midi_sim.exe
omni_plugin_host.exe
This is what I get when extracting the apimage, however none of these work, even when given executable privileges. Wrote to the dev and he gave me one tip but that simply wouldn't run at all, even with sudo....running a flavour of Ubuntu so does anyone have any ideas on this please?

Those are Windows executable files. You can tell because they have the .exe file extension. You need the actual Linux appimage. It should be a single file with the extension .appimage. You don't extract it. You right-click on it and make it an executable in your file manager. Then, after you do that, you should be able to simply double-click on the application and it should run.
