+README.txt
+----------
+
+Graphical frontend and built-in softsynth (MusE Experimental Soft Synth) for MusE, based on Fluidsynth
+(http://www.fluidsynth.org).
+
+Features:
+---------
+- Loading/unloading of soundfonts
+- Easy control of fluidsynth's send effects and their parameters
+- Mapping of soundfonts to fluidsynth channels
+- Stores all settings in the current project file and automatically loads all effect parameters,
+  soundfonts, channel settings and presets when re-opening the project.
+- Makes it possible to use several soundfonts in one single fluidsynth instance (thereby reducing CPU usage since they share
+  the same send effects)
+
+
