Mustajuuri (Black salsify, Scorzonera hispanica) is an audio signal processing application and toolkit. It is designed to meet wide range of needs.

The first and foremost is real-time effects processing. Mustajuuri can process guitar, vocals or any instrument with ease. It is also useful if you have a virtual reality system with more than 10 loudspeakers and you wonder how to control them all.

The basic philosophy is to combine the good features of many existing applications - not to simply copy one. Apps I'd like to surpass are ProTools, CuBase and all the others. To make this possible Mustajuuri has an extremely flexible and powerful plugin model.

Mustajuuri acts as a core framework upon which applications can be built. One can build applications directly as plugins (quite easy) or use the Mustajuuri libraries and plugins as a class library.

Usages:

Sound file editing
Mixing
Real-time effects processing
Real-time sound analysis
Sound processing for virtual reality system

Here are some key features of "Mustajuuri":
Graphical user interface
Good real-time operation
Plugin-based system
LADSPA plugin support (both import and export)
Plugins for audio file I/O and MIDI I/O
Openness - both as open source and as open for different uses
Platfrom-agnostic
Internationalization
Multiple user interface options
Easy-to-program plugin API with powerful support libraries

What's New in This Release:
This release adds some ALSA-related bugfixes, compiles cleanly on GCC 4, and adds documentation about Mustajuuri to LADSPA plugin conversion.
