[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 (Standard MIDI Files) and WRK (Cakewalk) file formats
Changes in v1.5.0:
* Ticket #3: Song loop between bars
* Ticket #7: Help window and user documentation
* Ticket #10: Splash screen
* Ticket #11: Fixed Winsnap enable/disable
* Allow more than one file from the command line, or dragged from a file
manager
* Some rough edges softened
* Czech translation updated, thanks to Pavel Fric
* Italian help page translated, thanks to Giovanni Mariani
Build requirements:
* C++11 compiler
* Qt5
* Drumstick libraries v2.3
* Uchardet v0.0.7
* CMake 3.14
* Pandoc

Ladies and Gentlemen,
hereby the Laborejo Software Suite releases updates for its programs in
the hope to be useful in your musical toolbox.
You can now download Agordejo version 0.3.0
https://laborejo.org/downloads/agordejo-0.3.0.tar.gz
All software is released under GPLv3.
Agordejo (Esperanto: 'place to set things up') is a music production session manager.
It is used to start your programs, remember their (JACK) interconnections and make
your life easier in general. It does not re-invent the wheel but instead uses the
New-Session-Manager daemon and enhances it with some tricks of its own, that always
remain 100% compatible with the original sessions.
Changelog Highlights:
* Remove "Quick" mode. As it turns out "Full" mode is quick enough. Port convenience features to full mode.
* More buttons for session control, previously only accessible through context menus.
* Add a timeline above running session to show global jack transport position. Also add controls to set the position.
Saving the timeline settings per session is done via nsm-data, which increases version from 1.0 to 1.1
* More functionality in the System Tray Icon (pure save, toggle individual client visibility)
* Double click on a crashed clients opens it again.
* Bugfixes, Quality-of-life improvements and data integrity checks
You can find all releases as sources here. Also check your distribution
for packages in a few days after this announcement, please.

sequencer, a program that sends digital "notes" to software instruments
such as synthesizers and samplers.
