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 v2.8.0:

• ALSA library:
  • added assignment operators for sysex and text events
• File library:
  • Fix for ticket #48: SMF Parser does not report enough errors
  • Improved RMID file support:
  • Extract DLS embedded data
  • Decode DLS instrument names
  • New mime type
• RT library:
  • Sonivox backend: enabled DLS file loading
• Widgets library:
  • Fixed compiler definitions
  • virtual piano: clip note children (labels)

• Misc:
  • Fix for ticket #49: Link failure when Qt6 is compiled with visibility=protected
  • Updated doxygen settings for Doxygen 1.9.5
  • Unit tests: conditionally run ALSA test and run the Widgets test using the QPA platform "offscreen"

Compilation minimum requirements for all platforms:

• C++11 compiler
• CMake 3.14
• Qt5 >= 5.9 or Qt6 >= 6.2 (with Qt6Core5Compat library dependency for Drumstick::File)

Feature dependencies (for some platforms):

• PulseAudio (Unix)
• D-Bus (Unix)
• Sonivox (Unix)
• FluidSynth (All platforms)
