Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.3.1 Released

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player

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
• Change MIDI volume level (using MIDI CC7)
• Scale song speed between half and double tempo
• Supports MID/KAR (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats

Changes in v1.3.1:

• Fix for ticket#4: crash if user tries to close the program's main window while playing
• Fix for ticket#6: man page added (pandoc source)
• Warn the user when the playlist has changed but not saved
• New setting for playlist auto advance

Build requirements:

• C++11 compiler
• Qt5
• Drumstick libraries v2.2
• Uchardet v0.0.7
• CMake 3.14
• Pandoc for optionally building the man page
