[LAA] Qsynth 0.3.5 - Spring Cleaning Pt.2

Hello, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, funk to funky. Yawn. Cut the non-sense, there's no burial service nor Bowie's song here. Just blowing some aging stuff, maybe giving the patine that it deserves ;) Almost one long year has gone by and sadly enough, there's no big new and flashy features to show off. But, nevertheless, Qsynth 0.3.5 is out from the closet! Hope you enjoy the (not so big) news :) Have fun. Description: Qsynth is a FluidSynth GUI front-end application written in C++ around the Qt4 toolkit using Qt Designer. FluidSynth is an excellent command line software synthsizer based on the Soundfont specification.
