What it does
Zrythm provides audio and MIDI editing, automation, chord tools and plugin-hosting features.
Outline a progression in the chord track, develop audio/MIDI regions and shape them with automation curves, LFOs and routing. The documented timeline can import/export audio and MIDI or bounce material to audio.
The reviewed v2 alpha is for testing, and its projects are incompatible with v1 in both directions. Some v1 features may be missing. Choose the build around that boundary before using it for a deadline.
