[Drumstick](https://drumstick.sourceforge.io/docs/index.html) 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 v1.7.1:
* Splash screen excluded in Wayland and fixed in other systems
* Italian translation updated. Thanks to Giovanni Mariani
Build requirements:
* C++11 compiler
* Qt5 >= 5.15 or Qt6 >= 6.2
* Drumstick libraries v2.7
* Uchardet v0.0.7
* CMake 3.14
* Pandoc (when BUILD_DOCS=on)

Zrythm 1.0.0-beta.3.9.1 has been released!
This release among other things brings CLAP (experimental) and JSFX
plugin support, thanks to the work of Filipe Coelho (falkTX) and Jean
Pierre Cimalando (jpcima) in Carla.
The pre-compiled binaries for GNU/Linux are now universal. This means
that instead of installing distribution-specific packages, Zrythm
installs itself under /opt. This makes the pre-compiled binaries work
on any distro (with some exceptions like GuixSD and NixOS) where the
glibc version is >= 2.27 (equivalent to Ubuntu 18.04 or newer).
Moreover, the only limitation on gratis binaries is now a maximum of 25
tracks per project. Limitations on save/load have been lifted. Of
course, there are no limitations when building from source.
