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.
- Support for guitar, bass, drums, keys and vocals
- Song browser
- Very fast startup and song loading
- 3D, "note highway" display
- Note/chord detection
- Pitch shifting of songs to match desired guitar tuning
- Adjustable song playback speed
- Section looping
ChartPlayer has been tested on Windows, Linux (x64 and arm64) and macOS.
You can download ChartPlayer from releases section here.
To install, unpack the .zip file and copy the extracted folder to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3".
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.
If you are running on an Arm Mac, and the Arm64 build does not work - try the x64 build with Rosetta.
ChartPlayer plays songs in tne OpenSongChart format. There is a ChartConverter tool for converting songs from other formats.
Make sure you clone this github repo recursively:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mikeoliphant/ChartPlayerBuilding 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.
