Buze 0.5.8 is here

Good news everyone, the first public beta of Buzé (an attempt to develop an alternative to Buzztracker) is available after the huge core rewrite. Version 0.5.8 adds and changes a huge number of things. I didn’t check it out myself yet (lack of time, the redesign is still on first priority) but the changelog sounds promising. Can’t wait to have a play with it myself.

Summary of changes: More complete undo/redo. Native event- and MIDI-connections. Feedback loops. Includes ca 20 new Lunar and native/MIDI plugins. Overall enhanced MIDI support. Improved native recorder and streaming plugins. Can load/preview a bunch of new sample formats via sndfile, e.g FLAC, IFF, VOC. Pattern editors can be duplicated and linked. The machine view can move/align machines w/keyboard, added new “Smart delete” function and other context menu options. The wave editor supports copy/paste, and the context menu works.
Contributors to this release were Calvin, Hmaon, Ld0d, Syncat, Zeffii and Zoner.

Buzé is available for low @ Batman.no.
