MusE - MIDI/Audio Sequencer

muse4 [ options ] [ file ]

MusE is a MIDI/Audio sequencer that can also record and edit sound files, apply effects and filters from an intuitive graphical interface. It is based on the Linux-specific ALSA interface for audio i/o. The Jack Audio Connection Kit is used for routing. LADSPA-compliant plugins allow to extend the list of available effects.

The optional file argument denotes a project file in MusE-internal format that is loaded on startup. Project files can also be loaded later on through the graphical menu.

Use a dummy audio backend instead of real audio i/o.
