# Drumstick Metronome (a.k.a. kmetronome)

[Drumstick Metronome](https://kmetronome.sourceforge.io/kmetronome.shtml) is a MIDI based 

metronome using the ALSA sequencer.

The intended audience are musicians and music students. Like any physical 

metronome, it is a tool to keep the rhythm while playing musical instruments.

It uses MIDI instead of digital audio, allowing low CPU usage and very accurate 

timing thanks to the ALSA sequencer. This means that you also need a MIDI 

synthesizer for sound generation, because the program does not produce any sound

by itself. The best results come from using a hardware synthesizer, but you may

also use software synthesizers instead.

For brief building instructions, see [INSTALL](INSTALL).

## Developers environment

You need the following software:

* CMake 3.16 or later

* C++17 compiler

* Qt libraries 6.2 or later (or Qt 5.12 or later)

* ALSA library 

* Drumstick libraries 2.9 or later

## Getting the development sources

Compiling and hacking the Git sources is a bit different compared to the

distribution tarball. You can get the latest sources either using a sourceforge

user account, or the anonymous user (with read only rights). The Git client  

documentation for SourceForge users is available at

https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Git/

1. Clone the [drumstick Git repository](https://sourceforge.net/p/drumstick/git/ci/master/tree/).

There is also a [Git mirror at GitHub](https://github.com/pedrolcl/drumstick)

example:

~~~sh

    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/drumstick/git drumstick-git

~~~

The module 'drumstick' is also used by other projects in a similar way as an 

independent shared dynamic library.

You need to configure, compile and optionally install drumstick libraries.

2. Clone the [kmetronome Git repository](https://sourceforge.net/p/kmetronome/git/ci/master/tree/).

There is also a [Git mirror at GitHub](https://github.com/pedrolcl/kmetronome)

example:

~~~sh

    git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/kmetronome/git kmetronome-git

~~~

4. Configure and compile

~~~sh

    cd kmetronome-git

    mkdir build

    cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug \

               -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$HOME/Qt/6.6.1/gcc_64/ \

               -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/

    make VERBOSE=1

~~~

5. Hack and enjoy!
