Scenemusic player for Macintosh

OSXMP (working title)

Scenemusic player for Macintosh.

Currently in very early stages. It plays, it stops, it has a rudimentary playlist and a PatternScope. Nothing else yet.

Supported file formats

• Any tracker format libxmp supports (most common ProTracker/FastTracker/ImpulseTracker etc.)
• DigiBooster
• AHX/HivelyTracker

Building OSXMP

OSXMP depends on the following libraries:

• libdigibooster3 (included as a submodule)
• freetype2
• glm
• libxmp
• TPCircularBuffer (included as a submodule)
• yaml-cpp

After cloning this repo, pull the submodules like so:

git submodule init
git submodule update

For the remaining libraries, the easiest way to get them is via Homebrew:

brew install freetype libxmp yaml-cpp

You should then be able to build the provided Xcode project.

osxmp's Issues

YAML config file

The app should have a nice human-readable/editable YAML config file so that every parameter exposed by all the various playback libraries is exposed and tweakable to the user's preference.

A GUI for setting all these options can come at a later date.

PatternScope CPU usage is too high

The PatternScope should be rewritten to use OpenGL and a font atlas texture to optimise drawing.

Currently it is a working proof-of-concept, but it goes through the full Core Text stack, re-rendering every character every update, which is very slow.

App needs a proper name

The app should have a unique, fun and catchy name that reflects its purpose.

Any suggestions welcome! 😄

Playlist/queue functionality

The app should allow you to queue up a bunch of files and listen to them in sequence.

We should investigate standard playlist file formats like .M3U and so on.

App icon

The app needs a nice icon/logo in the OS X El Capitan style.
