While impressive, I'm probably not the best person to try to sell that feature to. I may actually be one of the world's only fans of what gets called MIDI "slop." When the timing of everything doesn't completely align, and it's not perfect, that seems to complement my music, which is very analog and noisy and fuzzy, and I think it just makes everything more interesting. I used to have a Yamaha V50 digital synth even, which had an underpowered CPU of some kind on it. If you had the onboard sequencer send a MIDI program change command to the effects processor during sequence playback, there would be a noticeable stutter in playback as the tempo lagged, and then the reverb would kick in and things would continue as before, enveloped in hall reverb. It was a design bug and not an intentional feature, but I loved it. I never want electronic music to be too perfect. -- - Brent Busby + =============================================== + "The introduction of a new kind of music must -- Studio -- + be shunned as imperiling the whole state, for -- Amadeus/ -- + styles of music are never disturbed without -- Keycorner -- + without affecting the most important political -- Recording -- + institutions." --Plato, "Republic" ----------------+ ===============================================

I forgot to mention: Maybe your question would be better targeted on our dedicated forum at https://linuxmusicians.com/viewforum.php?f=61 There are lots of users there. They might have... opinions. And finally, what do YOU think of MusE 3.1.x? Gripes? Compliments? Wishes? Feel free to post on the forum or our github issue tracker. Tim.

MusE now looks for the new libinstpatch.pc, and if not found, tries to fall back to the older libinstpatch-1.0.pc Although I could not test the fall back mechanism because I uninstalled the old version, hopefully it will work. Everything else tested OK, loading a MESS fluidsynth instance and opening a drum editor and observing the drum note names are there. A fine library that really saves a lot of trouble with *automatic* drum note names. I wish other drum plugin mechanisms had something similar, instead of clumsy drum maps or midinam etc. The author was a great help providing me with examples. He said there's a newer version which uses GIntrospection but I have not investigated yet. Tim.
