Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.4 Released

Drumstick Multiplatform MIDI File Player 1.7.4

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 v1.7.4:

• better sequence info dialog
• Fix for GH ticket #25: VanBasco web site is gone!
• Fix for GH ticket #20: High density of MIDI events slows down playback tempo
• Fix for GH ticket #22: Hanging note if dmidiplayer is closed using the close window button during playback
• GH actions - workflows
• Building with Qt6 by default. For Qt5 compatibility, a new option USE_QT5 must be set.
• Upgraded CMake requirement to 3.16

Build requirements:

• C++11 compiler
• Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2
• Drumstick libraries v2.9
• Uchardet v0.0.8
• CMake 3.16
• Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on)
