New features small documentation:

MIDI support:

    To create a MIDI mapping, first link all your MIDI keys to a MooNSTER functionality
    by using the right mouse button on each key of the Editor keyboards or with the new
    MIDI menu.
    Save your mapping to a file and then select it from the Engine MIDI tab.

    Tip: use mouse dragging to assign several keys in one shot.

Video capture:

    Select your video input device from the MooNSTER Engine Video Tab and configure it.
    The video input replaces the two last video animations on the keyboard.

Sound capture:

    Configure your sound input from the Engine Sound menu and enable oscillo and equalizer
    textures.
    These sound textures replaces the 3 real time generated textures linked to the keys
    Alt-F9, Alt-F10 and Alt-F11.
