Bug fixes
- Fixed inverted octave calculation. (6195736, 3f3b161)
- Ensured DialogHost initializes correctly before use. (6fc20e1)
Auto key detection has undergone significant changes and is still being tested. If you encounter pitch or playback issues, it is recommended to manually set a default key offset for the meantime.
Covered Issues
- "DialogHost not set" still persists in other dialogs. (#15)
- Octaves are calculated in an inverted manner. (#14 )
- Feature request to add MIDI folder refresh button to song view. (#13 )
Full Changelog: v6.17.13...v6.21.0

What's New?

- Change windows player integration to display artist instead of time and index (047885a)

Note
I've just noticed that for instruments with fewer keys, some songs tend to lose accuracy by ear, where auto key detection actually helps improve playback. However, for instruments with a wider key range (such as Roblox and Heartopia 37-key pianos), applying auto key detection can introduce a key offset, resulting in noticeable pitch inaccuracies.
This update addresses the issue by allowing manual key selection and giving users the option to disable auto key detection for better control.
I’m planning to implement a threshold so that auto key detection/correction only applies to instruments with fewer keys, avoiding key offset issues on instruments with a wider range, or explore improvements to smart transposition.
Bug fixes
- Properly aligned title bar buttons. (ca43857)
- Fixed issue where the mouse gets stuck after clicking a dropdown in the song list (695df16)
- Fixed thin draggable area in window title bar (afdd61d)
Covered Issues
- Auto song key detection causes inaccurate playback. (#12 )
Full Changelog: v6.17.7...v6.17.13

Smart Transpose & Key Detection
What's New?
- Added Smart transpose mode. (eee450c)
- Added automatic song key detection upon song import. (dcf0c3a)
- Added a toggle in instruments view to play unplayable notes during listen mode when transpose is set to
Ignore. (885e7c4) - Improved overall UI for a cleaner experience. (380fb43, 1af4f2f)
- Set Hold Notes to Off by default, as some games (e.g., Genshin Impact) can’t detect new key presses if the current key is still being held. (dcf0c3a, d713a2f)
Important
You might want to delete the song from the list and import it again or click the Reset Defaults button in the song edit dialog to automatically detect the song key of already imported songs.
Bug fixes
- Fixed file explorer opening twice when clicking the crash log link in the crash dialog. (52114e5)
- Fix issue where key offset is re-applied when previous button is clicked (20be79f)
Covered Issues
- The app now automatically detects the correct key, so there’s no need to manually search for it. (#11, #9)
- Limited transpose options (previously only ±1 semitone) have been addressed with the introduction of Smart Transpose. (#11, #9)
Full Changelog: v6.14.0...v6.17.6
Thanks for the support, everyone! I’ve been diving into music theory while developing this application, and I’m really enjoying the process. 💖

Add keypress options
What's new?
- Added delay options between key-down and key-up when Hold Notes is disabled in the settings.
- Added an option to disable key-up events in the settings.
Note
The delay option is added because the keyup event fires way too fast. Since the input duration is practically zero, some games like Heartopia doesn't register the key press long enough to trigger the yellow visual feedback or the character's piano animation.
Tip
If you'd like the app to follow the original key-down and key-up from the MIDI file, you might want to consider enabling Hold notes in Instruments view. This is on by default for new songs.
Beta v6.12.12: 6.12.11...v6.12.12
Full Changelog: 6.12.11...v6.13.1
Fix Heartopia unnatural behavior
What's Fixed?
Revert to old SendKeyDirect() behavior where no immediate key-up is sent.
The issue happens because the
keyupevent fires way too fast. Since the input duration is practically zero, the game engine doesn't register the key press long enough to trigger the yellow visual feedback or the character's piano animation.
See issue #7 for more details about expected Heartopia animation behavior
Important
If you'd like the app to follow the original key-down and key-up from the MIDI file, you might want to consider enabling Hold notes in Instruments view.
Beta
Will be working on:
- A feature where you can set your own delays between key-down and key-up
- A toggle to send key-up or use the legacy behavior just sending key-down
