WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
For quickly playing around I use Mamba which is a virtual keyboard with built-in fluidsynth support. So I don't have to start up all my different modular programs just to play a few notes with a piano sound. You can set your hardware MIDI controller to Mamba's MIDI in. It has very basic recording/looping but if you actually want to record and arrange tracks then use a DAW.
DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) like Ardour or LMMS are like the "Office suite" of music making. They are big programs that can record, arrange, and edit audio and MIDI tracks, add effects, mix and export etc.
