Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.4.0 Released

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.4.0

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
• 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 v1.4.0:

• ticket #1: Playback positioning
  • Replaced the progress bar by a slider, so the user can change the play position
  • Added forward/backward actions to advance or go back one bar
  • Added a Jump action to move the play position to some arbitrary bar
• ticket #2: Playlist repetition options: Nothing, Last Song, Whole Playlist
• ticket #8: (Lyrics text) Copy to clipboard, Save to File, Print
• ticket #9: (after Drumstick ticket #31) Fallback output drivers
• Playlist function shuffle
• Toolbar buttons customizing dialog
• preliminary support for building with Qt6 (experimental)
• Czech translation updated, thanks to Pavel Fric

Build requirements:

• C++11 compiler
• Qt5
• Drumstick libraries v2.3
• Uchardet v0.0.7
• CMake 3.14
• Pandoc for optionally building the man page
