by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas

# Drumstick Libraries v2.9.1 Drumstick is a set of MIDI libraries using C++/Qt idioms and style. Includes a C++ wrapper around the ALSA library sequencer interface: ALSA sequencer provides software support for MIDI technology on Linux. A complementary library provides classes for processing SMF (Standard MIDI files: .MID/.KAR), RIFF MIDI (.RMI), and Cakewalk (.WRK) file formats. A multiplatform realtime MIDI I/O library and a GUI Widgets libraries are also provided for Linux, Windows, and Mac OSX. Changes in v2.9.1: * RT library: * initialization of PipeWire in the FluidSynth backend. * fix for #25: FluidSynth backend, ability to configure chorus and reverb parameters. * fix for #24: FluidSynth backend, ability to set several soundfonts. * Fix for #19: preliminary support for Sysexes under windows. Thanks to Luca Santini. * Widgets library: * fix for #25: FluidSynth settings dialog, configuration of chorus and reverb. * fix for #24: FluidSynth settings dialog, select several soundfonts. * Misc: * fix for #21: github workflows.

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 Copyright (C) 2021-2024 Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas License: GPL v3 or later Project and Source Repositories: https://sourceforge.net/p/dmidiplayer https://github.com/pedrolcl/dmidiplayer Downloads: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dmidiplayer/files/v1.7.4/
