I was actually successful with this. I just noticed that I have to have record on so that chartplayer starts to play. Iam on v0.1.8

 

Strumming "box" visibility:

Iam finding it hard to distinguish strumming timing when theres alternating faster and slower strums in quick succession.  Especially in faster songs. Note display length helps a lot, but I was hoping to keep the current length (3.0).  Still this is only in few songs and its minor problem for me.

I wonder if having the note display time length be somewhat sensitive to song tempo might be a solution?

OMG, thanks for doing this, I've been hoping for this forever!!! And yes, also linux please, if I can I'll try and see if I get it to work through wine, but it's hell for all things audio related.

Let me know if you have success using Wine.

An actual Linux version is very much possible - I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

ChartPlayer v0.1.9 is now available:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayer/releases/latest

Changes:

• Add song BPM detection and display
• Add Linux version

The new Linux build is pretty experimental. If you try it, please let me know how it goes. If you have trouble with it, please get in touch on github.

Any possibility for a Mac version?

Absolutely. In fact, it probably already works.

I'm still working out some kinks in making the Psarc converter work cross-platform. Right now you need Windows to convert the songs to the format ChartPlayer uses.

 

ChartPlayer v0.1.10 is now available:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayer/releases/latest

Changes:

• Update to latest MonoGame
• Add MacOS/x64 and MacOS/arm64 builds

So... this version adds MacOS support. I haven't tested it, but chances are good that it is working or close to working.

I have also updated PsarcConverter with Linux and MacOS builds:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/PsarcConverter/releases/latest

 

I seem to be stuck, 

I have the software and the converter downloaded,

I have the converter working and tested

the pluggin seems to be launching and able to find the song list, 

however,

     I am not seeing any note recognition, This software is great honestly so I'm sure I am missing a step on the note recognition, I am using Cakewalk for my DAW if that makes any difference

 

 

EDIT: I also have it verified being able to hear me inside of the actual DAW itself, just not the program

Make sure that you have the track you have ChartPlayer on armed for input, and make sure it is set to the channel you are using on your audio interface.

That was it, thank you! 
 

also this software rocks, can’t wait wait to see where it goes

ChartPlayer v0.1.11 is now available:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayer/releases/latest

Changes:

• Escape key returns to song list
• Display note detection %
• Support for mixing multiple audio stems
• Tab-based options interface
• Initial drum and keys support

The big change in this version is initial support for midi drums and keys using charts converted from Rock Band.

Drum support is pretty far along, but still needs work. Keys support is very early stages.

Note that you'll need the latest version of ChartConverter (previously "PsarcConverter") to convert Rock Band files:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartConverter

Be sure to read the github readme info on the ChartConverter page if you are interested in trying the new drums/keys.

 

 

ChartPlayer v0.1.12 is now available:

https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayer/releases/latest

Changes:

• Fixed some crashes under certain circumstances
• Added song list paging with drum kit toms
• Background loading of song album art for faster song navigation
• Fixed display of Rock Band song sections
• Improved drum timeline

 

This is great, thanks for making this!  

Any plans to add a loop feature?  Would be great to see the waveform or something and select a section to loop.

The song sections are often too long to use as a loop for practice so selecting outside of them would be great.

Yeah - I just haven't figured out the best interface for it yet. I'll give it some thought.

I've been working on a tool to "rearrange" songs for ukulele, and just came across your ChartPlayer and think it's amazing!

So I might add support for converting OpenSongChart files, and am just trying to decide what might be the best option for organizing the instrument files.  One factor might be whether there are limits on the number of instrument files (either in general, or for a given InstrumentType)?  For example if a song has bass, lead1, lead2, rhythm1, rhythm2, could I create ukulele-bass, ukulele-lead1, etc, and have the 5 new ukulele-* files all set to InstrumentType=BassGuitar, which would result in 10 instrument files in total with 6 of them targeting BassGuitar?

Also, do you think it would be feasible to support custom InstrumentTypes, so then for example I could have the 5 new instruments set to InstrumentType=Ukulele instead of BassGuitar, and then I could filter by Ukulele in the song list?

And not related to ukulele, but what do you think about supporting the Easy/Medium/Hard hero levels (for songs that have them)?  There's a lot of songs that are easy enough to play well even on max difficulty, but there are also a lot where I still need the Medium or Easy level.

There is no limit to the number of parts, and you can call them whatever you want, so yes - that should work.

I think I'm probably more likely to add some sort of "Other" stringed instrument type.

I made a conscious decision to omit that from the file format, since the difficultly levels seem to be almost always auto-generated. I think it makes more sense to do that auto-generation at playback time, but I haven't gotten around to it (I'm the type of player that always wants to see all of the notes even if I can't play them all yet).

Awesome, good to know there's no limit!

The rearranger only really works for bass tracks because I haven't added chord support yet, so for now just targeting BassGuitar and having the ukulele version appear under Bass will work.  If I ever get it working for lead/rhythm then that's where having Other might help organize things better.

Yeah I've seen a few people suggest to always play on max difficulty and just slow it down or skip notes you can't play, so maybe I'll give that a shot.

Wow this is wonderful! 

Any plans to port it to android by chance?

There's and old app called CDLC Player, that hasn't been worked on for years, and is not that good - difficult to read charts on it.

This on the other hand, is gold.

Hi there, awesome work! I'm testing this on linux and it'snot playing nice with jack.

I can get it to start without jack running, but it wont show up in the connections window in qjackctl or carla if I start jack afterwards.

I have tried it with jack running but I get this error message:

Unhandled exception. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at AudioPlugSharp.AudioIOPort`1.GetAudioBuffer(Int32 channel)
   at AudioPlugSharp.FloatAudioIOPort.CopyFrom(ReadOnlySpan`1 buffer, Int32 channel)
   at AudioPlugSharpJack.JackHost`1.Process(ProcessBuffer buffer)
   at JackSharp.Processor.OnProcess(UInt32 nframes, IntPtr arg)
Aborted (core dumped)
 

P.s. I see you're also doing drums, a long time I put together a program to translate rockband and guitar hero drumkits to midi under linux. We used to send the midi to hydrogen and play through that. The project is still on github:

https://github.com/rbdrum2midi/rbdrum2midi

Android is actually very possible at some point.

I have only done very limited testing on linux, so it doesn't surprise me that there are issues. The best way to move forward would be to open up an issue on github.

Nice! I've had my own software for playing rockband drums using my e-kit for years, and recently rolled that functionality into ChartPlayer. It is still pretty WIP.

There are also likely problems with the drum midi handling under linux, but nothing that shouldn't be able to be resolved.

This looks very good. Would love if it can support GoPlayAlong xml files to make 7/8 string songs possible to sight-read. One of my biggest complaints about Rocksmith is being limited to only 6 strings, not being able to use the full range.
