The new Tarsos release contains practical transcription features. As can be seen in the screenshot below, a time stretching feature makes it easy to loop a certain audio fragment while it is playing in a slow tempo. The next loop can be played with by pressing the `n` key, the one before by pressing `b`. Since the pitch classes can be found in a song, and there is a feature that lets you play a `MIDI` keyboard in the tone scale of the song under analysis, transcription of ethnic music is made a lot easier.

The new release of Tarsos can be found in the [Tarsos release repository](http://0110.be/releases/Tarsos/). From now on, nightly releases are uploaded there automatically.
