Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.2 Released

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.5.2

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/RMI (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats

Changes in v1.5.2:

• New build option USE_QT to choose among Qt major versions (5 or 6). By default (if not set) it uses whatever is found.
• Fix for crash in Linux when using the MIDI connections dialog, and there are not suitable MIDI ports available.
• Czech translation updated. Thanks to Pavel Fric.

Build requirements:

• C++11 compiler
• Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2
  Note: Qt6 is still experimental
• Drumstick libraries v2.4
• Uchardet v0.0.7
• CMake 3.14
• Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on)
