Version 0.50.1, the first 0.50 stream release was uploaded today. The main features are all usability including LADI level 1 compliance, keyboard accelerated memory operation and help, internal MIDI event redistribution between engine and GUI, plus a whole load of fixes and finally some QA testing prior to release.

Implemented monophonic note precedence logic to allow the playing styles of the old synths. High note, low note and last note preference can all be requested along with retrigger options when running an emulator with a single voice. The release include other bugfixes as usual.

The Bristol 0.30 stream was finally cut of 0.20.9 and released with a pair of new emulators, a Moog Sonic-6 and Moog Voyager, a revamp of the existing Explorer code.

Inludes more arpeggiation, a Jupiter-8 early release plus a few Crumar Bit emulators.

This release implements a generic arpeggiator for the Juno emulation. This code, once verified, will be appied to various other synths that originally had these features.
