Feature Requests

From Musik

This is the list of the most commonly requested features for the next releases of musikCube; check also this bug and feature list (http://www.musikcube.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1299) in the forum! These already have been noted and do not need to be continually requested.

I don’t know if I will be able to keep this list updated or not, so others please contribute. Items already implemented currently or for the next release have been noted.

If you have any more feature requests, please submit a new ticket on the Trac (http://musikcube.clangen.org/) page, making sure to change the Type to enhancement, but keep also in mind, that there won't be an official update for mC1 (in favour of developing mC2 from the scratch)!
