Discussed: How to stabilize the pitch for samples

Processing for pitched (non-percussion) samples:
* Ensure that the pitched sample has only one pitch and as little extraneous noise as possible (This typically is done by ear, by the user)
* Transpose the pitch to an A4=440hz pitch (i.e. the pitch may be slightly too high or too low, which puts it outside of A4=440Hz)
* Stabilize the pitch across its duration -- within a recorded sample, there are slight fluctuations in pitch that need to be "flattened"/stabilized in order to be useful within Music Blocks
* Keep the instrument "noise" that sounds during an attack
* (Advanced) Find ways to maintain decay and release instrument "noise" and place those at the end of the note, regardless of the note's length

Color detection -- Working on this

=== Justin ===

Play only mode -- WIP

=== Diwangshu ===

Metronome and MIDI export -- two open PRs for Devin to review

=== Safwan ===

Frame drum (Duff)

Feedback for harmonium
1. There seems to be another sound near the end of the sample. We cannot have that.
2. Devin didn't get a chance yet to test chords

Discussion: We don't need to have "every instrument" in Music Blocks. We just need a decent representation of instruments.

=== Om Santosh ===

External and internal CSS

Q: Do we need to migrate the CSS?
A: Not a priority

=== Aman Singh ===

No report; looking for work to do; will work with another Muhammad H.

=== Ubayed ===

Help menu issues
* Advanced mode items are showing up in beginner mode
* Items should be reordered
* Some of the text needs to be rewritten (e.g. Save in advanced mode)

JS i10n

Discussion:
* .ini is fast, but it doesn't give us much flexibility with certain language conversions
* May want to look at better maintained projects that support PO, which already has important details for a language

=== Falgun ===

Discussion about synth volume.

When blocks are outside of a project flow, then clicking on it only results in a preview of the sound.

When outside of a flow:
* Set master volume plays sol4 quarter note electronic synth
* Set synth volume plays sol4 quarter note at the instrument selected in synth value

=== Shubham ===

Worked on screen resizing features, which has been merged to master
