 The audio engine has gotten a lot of attention! Once integrated into Strudel itself, the engine has been pulled out and named [superdough](https://www.npmjs.com/package/superdough),
 the name being based on [SuperDirt](https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt), which is the audio engine of Tidal.
-superdough is now also used by [topos](https://topos.live/), a creation of [Bubo](https://github.com/Bubobubobubobubo/), who helped me implement a bunch of new features.

 Lately, [Jade Rowland](https://github.com/daslyfe) has also developed many synthesis features into superdough! Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features:

+### Sliders
+
+The `slider` is the first of a family of functions that render UI widgets inline:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:visible
+  tune={`note("c eb g bb")
+  .s("sawtooth").lpenv(2).lpq(8)
+  .lpf(slider(500, 100, 2000, 1))`}
+/>
+
+Sliders are especially useful for gradual changes like fading things in and out by hand,
+which is not very practical with just code. The fact that the slider is inside the code and also changes the code itself,
+makes it feel connected with the rest of the system + doesn't distract or obstruct from the code.
+Other widgets will come for sure.
+
+### More Voicings
+
+One of my personal goals that got me involved with live coding in the first place is to be able to generate good sounding chord voicings on the fly.
+Strudel now supports most chord symbols:
+
+<MiniRepl
+  client:visible
+  tune={`chord("<C^9 C7b9 Fm9 Db^7>/4")
+  .dict('ireal').voicing()
+  .s("sawtooth")
+  .lpf(400).lpa(.5).lpenv(4)
+  .phaser(4).room(.5)`}
+/>
+
+So far, this is only [documented briefly](https://strudel.cc/learn/tonal/#voicing), a more in-depth guide will follow!
