Subject[Csnd] [announce] blue 2.1.0
Hi All,

I'd like to announce that blue 2.1.0 is now available from:

http://blue.kunstmusik.com/

This release features the initial phase of MIDI support for blue,
where blue will take in MIDI input, map key/velocity (can use Scala
tuning files here), and generate Csound notes for realtime playing.
When used with the Csound API, this adds an extra dimension to using
blueLive to help more quickly work on creating patches with
BlueSynthBuilder instruments as well as just for working out musical
ideas.  (The manual entry for blueLive describing the current state of
things is available at
http://blue.kunstmusik.com/manual/html/blueLive.html ; please
disregard the out of date image of the UI).

There were also a number of bug fixes and features implemented that
were a direct result of user feedback through blue's bug tracker and
feature request tracker.  Many thanks to the users who participated in
giving this valuable feedback!

Thanks and enjoy!
steven

    [updated] - When using "Save as" or doing a save when closing a
