MusE 2.1 Jan 06, 2013 Happy new year everybody and happy new MusE release! We've tried hard to break tradition and release somewhat quicker than what we usually been able to. So without further ado, here we are with a shiny 2.1 release. Assortment of topics worked on this time around are: * Native VST support, first drop: effect rack isn't supported yet and some synths are misbehaving a bit but it should be usable. * New type of drum track with easier instrument handling * Improved Wave Editor. * Improved midi import/export * Longtime wierdness in MusE, song-type is finally removed * Improved: Deicsonze soft synthesizer: Fixed crash, bugs, added ladspa plugins * Added: Request from forums: Auto-start Jack upon MusE startup.
