It is with great joy we present to you the final release of MusE 4.0.
A great many things have been added and improved since the last stable
release, nine months ago. To give a rather useless metric about the
amount of work that has gone into MusE 4.0, our code repository has
had more than 700 commits since the release of MusE 3.1.1!
Here is an extremely condensed list of the most important changes since 3.1.1:
* The core feature of 4.0 is the redesigned user interface with a huge
amount of quality of life improvements.
- Tabbed UI with Docks for common utility editors like Marker List,
Mastertrack List and Event List.
- All new dark theme with a lot of graphical improvements including lots
of icons reworked in vector format.
- Many new toolbars for quick access to common operations.
- A lot of menu operations now list their related keyboard shortcut.
- Many new keyboard shortcuts.
* We now have an AppImage for easy installation on all distributions, both
for releases and the bleeding edge development version.
* Many many other fixes and improvements.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Hi all,
I've decided to release Drops.
Drops is a single audio file sample player plugin in lv2 and vst
format for linux.
Load an audio file, play it, loop it, pitch shift it, and make it into
something entirely new.
The sample engine is sfizz.
Drops is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or any later
version.
Some of the features:
- audio disk streaming, allowing for large audio files to be played
- waveform display with zooming and scrolling
+ note: use mousewheel to zoom in and out
- 'minimap' with scroll area
- sample in/out and loop points
- ADSR for amp, filter and pitch
- LFO, free running or sync to transport and bpm for amp, filter and pitch
source code and binaries (for linux)
https://github.com/clearly-broken-software/drops/releases/tag/v1.0-beta
I hope this plugin will be of use to you.
Kind regards,
Rob van den Berg
