Drumstick MIDI File Player multiplatform 1.3.0 Released

Drumstick MIDI File Player multiplatform 1.3.0

Drumstick is a set of GPLv3 licensed C++/Qt libraries for MIDI applications. The project includes several tools as examples, and among them is the drumstick-guiplayer utility that leverages the Drumstick::ALSA library, so it is available only for Linux (because the ALSA sequencer is a linux only technology). Some people have requested a program with the same functionalities also on Windows and macOS, so here it is. But this project is much more ...

Some key features

• MIDI Output to hardware MIDI ports, or any other Drumstick backends, like soft synths
• Transpose song tonality between -12 and +12 semitones
