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)

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It
doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI
synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external). You can
use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can
use the Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from
another instrument or MIDI file player.

It is with great joy we present to you the final release of MusE 4.0.
A great many things have been added and improved since the last stable
release, nine months ago. To give a rather useless metric about the
amount of work that has gone into MusE 4.0, our code repository has
had more than 700 commits since the release of MusE 3.1.1!
Here is an extremely condensed list of the most important changes since 3.1.1:
* The core feature of 4.0 is the redesigned user interface with a huge
amount of quality of life improvements.
- Tabbed UI with Docks for common utility editors like Marker List,
Mastertrack List and Event List.
- All new dark theme with a lot of graphical improvements including lots
of icons reworked in vector format.
- Many new toolbars for quick access to common operations.
- A lot of menu operations now list their related keyboard shortcut.
- Many new keyboard shortcuts.
* We now have an AppImage for easy installation on all distributions, both
for releases and the bleeding edge development version.
* Many many other fixes and improvements.
