Rusthesia

Rusthesia is till now just a hack to play a midi file, created from Logic Pro/X, and display a window with falling notes down onto a piano. Thus hardcoded for example is to use track 1 and 2 as piano input.

The midi file can be transposed in half notes in realtime by using shift left/right key. Playing can be paused by space.

Synthesizer is not included. Instead midi messages will be sent by core audio on a mac. No idea for other operation systems. Screen output uses sdl2.

Here screenshot for current version:

Installation

cargo install rusthesia

Preparation

Usage

For help just execute

rusthesia -h

Todo

• Refactoring and code quality
• Create video
• Speed up by using e.g. one large sdl2 surface
• Nicer looking output
• Different color for the channels (left/right)
• Native macos app with fruitbasket
• and more...

Final Words

The application works, but still this is a quick hack. In future refactoring will be necessary.
