ChartPlayer

ChartPlayer is a cross-platform application for playing along to charts in OpenSongChart format.

It runs as a VST plugin inside your DAW (or as a Jack Audio client) so that you can use any other plugin you like (ie: guitar amp simulation) for your instrument sounds.

Downloading

You can download ChartPlayer from releases section here.

Running as a VST in Windows

To install, unpack the .zip file and copy the extracted folder to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3".

Running under Jack in Linux or MacOS

Unpack the .zip file and run "ChartPlayerJack" from the resulting folder (you will likely have to make it executable:

chmod u+x ChartPlayerJack

You need to have a running Jack instance for it to work. It will attempt to connect to your jack input/output ports.

For speed/pitch shifting to work, you need to have Rubber Band (librubberband2) installed.

For file browser input to work, you need to have Zenity installed.

MacOS Note

If you are running on an Arm Mac, and the Arm64 build does not work - try the x64 build with Rosetta.

Where to get songs

ChartPlayer plays songs in tne OpenSongChart format. There is a ChartConverter tool for converting songs from other formats.

Building From Source

Make sure you clone this github repo recursively:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayer

Building should be straightforward using Visual Studio.

NOTE: Build and run the "ImageProcessor" project first - it creates texture assets that are required for the main build.
