NOTE: THE NEWER OPEN SOURCE REPO IS MAINTAINED/UPDATED MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY, HEAD OVER THERE FOR THE MOST UP TO DATE / BEST SUPPORTED VERSION:https://github.com/sherifican/ParaKit-Open_Source
DOWNLOAD CURRENT PUBLIC BUILD (this is the older .exe version, Open Source repo is newer): LimeWire link for v4.4.52
the website i built to host the downloads is having issues and until i fix that LimeWire is the download, but it will expire if it is not downloaded once per week, so I'm gonna try to fix the website fast.
Two editions are available — v2 and the new v3 — on purpose. v3 is a from-scratch combined rebuild: the falling-note play plus a full Kit Studio and a polished, everything-up-front home. Both are kept available because I'm still deciding which parts of each I like best and what should be folded together or trimmed — so try both and use whichever you prefer. Your feedback helps shape the single best version that eventually folds back into the main ParaKit desktop app in v5.
A from-scratch rebuild that folds the falling-note play experience together with a full Kit Studio and a polished home. It does everything v2 does — notes down 8 lanes, keyboard + USB-MIDI play, latency calibration, a results screen with a timing histogram — and adds:
- 🥁 Kit Studio (the headline) — rearrange the lanes, set each lane's color / shape / width, add aux lanes, lefty-flip the whole kit, save kit presets, pin a kit to a song. Edit it live mid-song or from the home.
- A polished Song / Setup / Input home — every option up front: your songs folder (a searchable library of
.rlrrpackages) or a single-chart load, the play toggles + fall-time / note-size sliders, and your MIDI device + key bindings shown inline. - Native
.rlrr— point it at a Paradiddle songs folder and play any chart, or load a single.rlrr(+ optional audio; a synth fills in if there's none). - In-play live-settings dock (toggle with H), loop A/B, speed control, on-screen pads, accessible colorblind-safe palettes, and per-song calibration.
▶ Try it now: download Practice Window v3 - Web Edition/parakit-practice-v3.html and open it in any modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended for USB-MIDI).
The Preview / Practice experience, rebuilt from the ground up as a fast, self-contained web app — a massive step up from the original in-app mini-game. Notes fall down 8 lanes in perfect time with the music while you play along on a USB MIDI drum kit or your keyboard.
- Rock-solid timing — a new sample-accurate audio engine eliminates the drift the older build fought with for weeks.
- One-click play — no separate launcher; includes a built-in demo, plus a synthesizer that makes any chart audible even with no audio file loaded.
- Latency-calibration wizard, mid-song mix/stem switching, touch support, a results screen with a timing histogram, and full keyboard + MIDI play.
- Runs anywhere — one self-contained HTML file. No install, no dependencies.
- Loading your own song — the built-in demo plays by default, so a track is always there the moment you open it. To practice your own, click Choose MIDI or Choose .rlrr to load a chart, and Full Mix / Drum Stem to load the audio.
▶ Try it now: download Practice Window v2 - Web Edition/parakit-practice.html and open it in any modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended for USB-MIDI support).
Both v2 and v3 are complete and ready to play today. A single, best-of-both native version folded back into the desktop app is planned for a later release.
▶ Try it now: download Preview Track v2 - Web Edition/parakit-preview.html and open it in any modern browser (Chrome or Edge recommended for USB-MIDI).
See it in action:
The v5.0+ Major Overhaul Update/Rebuild is in the works and will be coming ASAP.
NOTE -- v4.0+ has delivered MASSIVE improvements to the Audio → MIDI auto detector (including the new Neural Stem Isolation in v4.4.4), major UI cleanup, and many quality-of-life features. See the Changelog at the bottom for what has landed since v3.5.1
DOWNLOAD CURRENT PUBLIC BUILD: ParaKit Homepage
v3.5+ ships with all requirements included in the main .zip download -- no separate installs needed.
The goal of this project is to make drum chart creation as accessible as possible -- NO paywalls, no juggling multiple audio software and/or free web-services with ads everywhere, lower barrier to entry. ParaKit always has been and always will be free of charge and will NEVER host ads. If you've ever gotten tired or frustrated by the some of the unnecessarily convoluted and tedious parts of the process of chart making, or tools forcing a subscription on you, this app is for you. I've condenced all the necessities into one place, no emails or credit cards required.
Compatible with Paradiddle (PC) and Paradiddle VR (Meta Quest 3) and Clone Hero (PC) Built for use with any supported e-drum kit or the in-game virtual kit, in app MIDI input device support coming soon!
I'm working on adding in either full or partial MIDI input device support. This will allow for users to use their MIDI input device, a drumkit, a MIDI pad controller, or whatever, to place notes along the track in the MIDI editor. This would be pretty useful for those who want to chart their own personally composed songs, or for those who would rather just actually play the song to chart the notes instead of doing it the traditional listen & click method. I would also of course add MIDI input to the Mini Game as well. Stay tuned.
The Quick Start & FAQ tab inside the app covers everything in detail.
First launch may take a moment. The app opens faster after the first launch.
If you're already experienced with MIDI charting and have your own workflow using tools like Reaper, Audacity, or similar -- ParaKit probably won't replace your primary methods. That said, parts of it may still save you steps: the Song Creator, Stem Splitter, Sheet Music -> MIDI, YouTube -> FLAC, Asset Manager, and Preview/Practice Track can all slot into an existing workflow without replacing it.
If you're new to charting, or find dedicated audio/MIDI software difficult, confusing, or just more than you need -- ParaKit handles the full pipeline in one place with enough automation to get a playable chart without prior experience.

🖼️ Click to expand — see every tab
STEP 1 -> Stem Splitter (Tab 4)
Split your song into drums-only and backing. Use .flac or .wav for best quality. Use YouTube -> FLAC (Tab 8) if you need a lossless source.
STEP 2 -> Audio -> MIDI (Tab 5)
Convert the drums-only track into MIDI. Select Hybrid detection mode and the Genre closest to your song for the best results. Click "Open Last Result in Editor" after converting.
If detection quality was off, use the Detection Troubleshooter in the Help tab -- paste your log, check the symptom boxes, and get specific setting suggestions with one-click apply.
-- OR --
STEP 2 -> Sheet Music -> MIDI (Tab 7)
Convert a MusicXML drum chart to 1:1 accurate MIDI. Download .mxl from MuseScore.com.
STEP 3 -> MIDI Editor (Tab 6)
Clean up the MIDI. Use Reclassify mode for wrong instruments -- click a note to pick from a list, or drag it up/down to change lanes in real time. Use Review Issues to find likely problems fast. Use 1-8 hotkeys to place notes while listening. Set dynamics in the Velocity Lane.
STEP 3.5 -> Preview/Practice Track (Tab 11) (optional but recommended)
Watch your chart fall exactly as it will appear in-game, synced to your audio. Switch to the Practice Mini-Game subtab to play through your chart with keyboard controls before exporting -- great for catching missed hits or weird timing without leaving ParaKit.
STEP 4 -> Song Tester (Tab 10)
Verify sync. False positives may appear after manual edits -- always confirm in-game.
STEP 5 -> Asset Manager (Tab 9) (optional)
Auto-fetch metadata, crop album art to 1:1, trim a 15-second preview clip.
STEP 6 -> Single Song Creator (Tab 1)
Combine MIDI + audio into a chart. Select Paradiddle (.rlrr), Clone Hero (.chart), or Both. Enable Also save as .zip for a shareable archive.
STEP 7 -> Deploy
- Paradiddle PC:
Documents\Paradiddle\Songs\ - Paradiddle Quest (USB): Click Push to Quest (requires adb.exe -- see Setup)
- Paradiddle Quest (manual):

Clone Hero\Songs\[Artist - Title]\
ffmpeg, yt-dlp, and adb are all included in the ParaKit release zip. Extract the full zip and keep the included folder structure together. v4.1.8+ supports a cleaner optional
Requirements\subfolder for ffmpeg, ffprobe, yt-dlp, and downloaded models.
ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe are included. They may live next to ParaKit.exe or inside a Requirements\ subfolder next to it. No install or PATH setup needed. Keep the release folder together or audio conversion and the Stem Splitter will stop working.
yt-dlp.exe is included. It may live next to ParaKit.exe or inside Requirements\. Keep Auto-update yt-dlp checked in the YouTube tab because YouTube occasionally changes its API and yt-dlp needs to update to stay compatible.
Manual download if needed: github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest
ParaKit v4.1.8+ can keep external helper files in a cleaner Requirements\ folder next to ParaKit.exe:
ParaKit.exe
Requirements\
ffmpeg.exe
ffplay.exe
ffprobe.exe
yt-dlp.exe
deno.exe
htdemucs
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
platform-tools\
Extractor Mini App\
parakit_drum_model.onnx
demucs_models\
drumsep_model\
The older layout still works too: those same files/folders may live directly next to ParaKit.exe. If Requirements\ exists, new model downloads are saved there automatically.
The platform-tools folder is included in the zip. It contains adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and AdbWinUsbApi.dll -- all three files must stay together in one of these locations:
- inside
Requirements\platform-tools\(recommended -- matches the new clean layout), or - directly inside
Requirements\(flat), or - next to
ParaKit.exe(legacy layout still works).
Manual download if needed: Android SDK Platform Tools
One-time Quest setup:
- Meta app -> Menu -> Devices -> [headset] -> Developer Mode -> On
- Plug Quest into PC via USB
- Put on the headset -- tap Allow on the USB debugging prompt that appears
| GPU | Status |
|---|---|
| NVIDIA GTX 10-series through RTX 40-series | Full GPU acceleration (~30s per song) |
| NVIDIA RTX 50-series | CPU only -- PyTorch support coming |
| AMD and Intel GPUs | CPU only -- Demucs requires CUDA (NVIDIA-exclusive) |
CPU times: typically 45 seconds to ~1m30s.
Use
.flacor.wavwhenever possible. Converting MP3 -> FLAC does not recover quality -- that data is gone permanently.
| Format | Notes |
|---|---|
.flac |
Lossless + compressed. Best choice. |
.wav |
Lossless + uncompressed. Larger files, same quality. |
.mp3 |
Accepted but not recommended. |
Use the YouTube -> FLAC tab (Tab 8) to download lossless audio directly. Bandcamp is a good alternative if you own the release.
Outputs three folders next to your input audio:
- DRUMS ONLY -- isolated drum track as
.ogg(for game packaging) - BACKINGS -- everything except drums as
.ogg(for game packaging) - LOSSLESS SPLITS (DRUMS) -- lossless
.flacdrums stem (fed to Audio -> MIDI for cleaner detection)
The success popup's Send Lossless Drums to MIDI Converter button routes the FLAC to the Audio -> MIDI tab automatically -- no manual file picking required.
- htdemucs -- fastest, great quality (recommended)
- htdemucs_ft -- slower, slightly more accurate
Isolates individual stem types -- Drums, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Vocals, Other -- each as a separate .ogg file.
BETA -- results are not perfect. Bleed between instruments is expected. Not recommended for Auto MIDI input.
Separates a drums-only stem into 4 individual components: Kick, Snare, Cymbals, Toms. Uses a specialized drum separation model trained specifically for drum isolation.
Run Standard Split first to get a drums-only stem, then run DrumSep on that result. Do not run it on a full mix.
First-time setup: Enable DrumSep, then click Download Model (~200MB, one-time). Stored in Requirements\drumsep_model\ when Requirements\ exists, otherwise in drumsep_model\ next to ParaKit.exe.
Best use: Load each stem into a MIDI Editor stem slot. The kick stem shows only kick transients -- makes note placement much more precise per lane.
ParaKit v4.0 added an AI-powered drum detection engine based on the ADTOF neural network -- trained on rhythm game chart data and optimized for drum transcription accuracy.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Spectral | Original pipeline. No extra files needed. Works on all systems. |
| ML / ONNX | AI detection. Significantly more accurate on kick, snare, hi-hat. Model downloads automatically (~1.7 MB, one-time). |
| Hybrid (recommended) | Runs ML + Spectral in parallel and merges results using ML timing preferred with spectral cross-confirmation. Best overall accuracy. |
Recommended workflow:
- Run Stem Splitter -> get a drums-only stem
- Use that stem as input for Audio -> MIDI
- Select Hybrid as the Detection Engine (works best on both drums-only stems and full mixes since v4.3.30)
- (Optional) Turn on Neural Stem Isolation for an extra AI cleanup layer on tricky tracks -- see next section
- Review and clean up in the MIDI Editor
Audio to MIDI now auto-cleans obvious crash/hi-hat overlaps and removes detector-generated snare/tom flams before writing the MIDI. Both cleanup options remain toggleable in advanced settings.
Known limitations:
- The ML model combines crash and ride into one cymbal class. Ride hits land in the Crash lane -- use Reclassify to move them. Timestamps are already correct.
- Tom classification is improved in Hybrid but the floor/mid/high split may need manual correction.
- Open and closed hi-hat are not distinguished. Set velocity below 40 on hi-hat notes to indicate open hits.
A new section in the Audio -> MIDI Settings panel added in v4.4.4. When turned on, ParaKit runs your input audio through an AI drum-stem splitter (Jarredou MDX23C 6-stem) before detection runs, cleaning up bleed between kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, and cymbals. Detection then runs on the cleaned audio.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Off (default) | Detection runs directly on your input audio. No extra processing. |
| Jarredou MDX23C 6-stem | AI splitter pre-cleans the audio. Adds ~30-60s per song on CPU. Improves snare / kick / crash detection on tricky tracks. |
When to use it: songs with lots of bleed between drum components -- especially metal tracks where kick and crash hit at the same time, or tracks where the hi-hat sits low in the mix and gets confused with cymbals.
First-time setup: flip the toggle to Jarredou and click Download Model -- a one-time ~417 MB download. The model is cached to your user app-data folder, not bundled with the release zip. Subsequent runs reuse the cached model.
Cost / caveats:
- CPU-only inference in this version. GPU support coming when PyTorch catches up to RTX 50-series.
- Adds ~30-60s per song to detection time.
- The ride lane still uses default detection (Jarredou's ride stem is not yet routed through the detector).
- If anything goes wrong with the splitter at run time, ParaKit automatically falls back to default detection on the original audio so your conversion still finishes.
Internal benchmark (5-track metal corpus): Neural Stem Isolation lifted snare F1 by +0.24, kick by +0.16, and crash by +0.13 over default detection.
If your result has too many or too few hits of a specific instrument:
- After converting, select all text in the log box and copy it (
Ctrl+A,Ctrl+Cdirectly inside the log) - Go to the Help tab -> Detection Troubleshooter (open by default)
- Paste the log, check the symptom boxes that match your result
- Click Analyze -- the troubleshooter reads your actual detection numbers and gives specific settings to try
- Click Apply Settings to choose which suggested changes to push to Audio -> MIDI settings automatically
| Genre | Notes |
|---|---|
| Auto (default) | Let the detector decide. Best starting point for most songs. |
| No adjustment | Pure defaults, no overrides. Useful for experimenting. |
| Pop / Pop-Punk & Rock | Kick threshold raised, snare more sensitive, tom filters loosened. |
| Metal / Hard Rock / Post-Hardcore | Snare detection more sensitive for noisy stems with guitar bleed. |
| Funk / Soul / R&B | Snare and kick more sensitive for ghost notes and syncopation, tom filters loosened, kick sub threshold lowered. |
Punk & Hardcore was removed. Lo-fi production, fast irregular tempos, and dense cymbal playing make auto-detection unreliable in that genre regardless of preset. Use Auto or Metal as a starting point and clean up in the editor.
Presets are starting points -- if one gives strange results, try another preset, No adjustment, or manual tuning.
Instrument notes:
- Toms -- spectral detection is unreliable on toms; Hybrid is better. Enhanced Detection (v4.4.0+) with Toms or Crash + Toms turned on adds LarsNet stem-based tom hits as a second pass when active. Mid Tom is the hardest drum class to detect -- if a fill lands in the wrong tom lane, use Reclassify. Turn off Snap to Grid for fast fills.
- Ride -- leave detection OFF by default. Hi-hats/crashes that should be ride land in their original lanes -- Reclassify them in the MIDI Editor.
- Kicks -- accurate on most material; v4.4.3+ kick dedup widened to 40ms automatically merges close-together duplicate triggers. Too many: raise ML threshold. Too few: lower threshold or add manually.
- Snares -- v4.3.30 raised the wire-band threshold to filter out roughly 97% of snare false positives across pop / metal / rock / alternative material; the funk preset's lower wire-band default is intentional for ghost notes.

Load up to 4 stems. Single mode plays only the active stem. Layered mode plays all loaded stems simultaneously. Mixer button opens per-stem volume controls.
Layered mode at non-1.0x speed is CPU-intensive.
D key or middle-click places a marker. Click the triangle handle in the header to select/drag. Color and label via the Markers popup button.
Load a reference MIDI as faded background notes -- useful for charting multiple difficulties from the same song. Browse in the Display & Snap panel. Opacity slider 10-60%.
Two subtabs that share the same loaded chart and audio.
Watch your chart fall exactly as it will appear in Paradiddle, synced to your audio.
- Audio toggle -- switch between Full Mix and Drums-only stem during playback.
- Zoom (note fall time) slider -- default 2.5s. Higher values show more notes at once (zoomed out); lower values show fewer notes larger (zoomed in). Range 0.5-15.0 seconds.
- Note size, square notes toggle, beat grid, hit-line glow -- visual presentation options in the Visual Settings panel on the right.
- Lane Visibility checkboxes -- hide/show individual drum lanes.
Play through the chart with keyboard controls before exporting -- great for catching missed hits or off timing without leaving ParaKit.
- Drum-style controls -- click the gear button to remap keys.
- Directional hit feedback (v4.4.26+) -- per-lane key-press flash bar lights up on every keypress; below the hit line, the result shows as PERFECT (within ±35 ms), EARLY (pressed before the perfect window but still in the hit window), LATE (pressed after the perfect window but still in the hit window), or MISS (a note aged past the hit line without input). The EARLY / LATE split replaces the older single GOOD label so you can tell which way to adjust your timing.
- Flash bar at the bottom of the play area (v4.4.27+) -- the per-lane keypress flash bar sits right above the key/note legend strip instead of near the hit line, so it doesn't crowd the falling notes.
- Streak + accuracy tracking -- live counter on the side panel.
- Input latency adjustment -- Audio output latency slider (0-200 ms, auto-estimated per OS) compensates for the gap between when audio playback starts and when sound reaches the speakers.
Note: Practice Mini-Game is visual-only -- it does not edit MIDI files or add external MIDI device support.
Auto-Fetch Metadata -- searches MusicBrainz and iTunes. One click fills Song Creator fields. Cover art can be overridden by manually browsing a different image.
Album Art Cropper -- crops any image to a centered 1:1 square. Output sizes: 256, 512 (recommended), or 1024px. Paradiddle requires square album art.
Preview Audio Trimmer -- exports a .ogg clip (~15 seconds) for the Paradiddle song selection menu.
| Option | Notes |
|---|---|
| Paradiddle (.rlrr) | Standard Paradiddle chart format |
| Clone Hero (.chart) | Writes notes.chart + song.ini with pro_drums = True; copies audio and cover art |
| Both | Outputs both formats from a single conversion |
| Also save as .zip | Zips the output folder after conversion |
| Zip To | Optional separate folder for zips |
| Push to Quest | Sends Paradiddle output directly to a connected Meta Quest via USB |
Clone Hero notes: Place the exported folder in Clone Hero\Songs\. Cymbal modifier flags (crash, ride, open hi-hat) require pro_drums = True -- ParaKit writes this automatically.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Notes out of sync | Run Song Tester; adjust audio offset |
| Wrong instrument | Reclassify mode in MIDI Editor -- click or drag note up/down |
| Toms missing | Unreliable in Spectral -- use Hybrid or add manually |
| Ride hits in crash lane | Normal with ML/Hybrid -- Reclassify after conversion |
| Too many / too few hits | Use Detection Troubleshooter in Help tab -- paste log, check symptom boxes |
| Stem Splitter fails | Keep ffmpeg.exe / ffprobe.exe next to ParaKit.exe or in Requirements\ |
| Stem Splitter slow | Normal for AMD/Intel and RTX 50-series |
| YouTube fails | Keep yt-dlp.exe next to ParaKit.exe or in Requirements\; keep Auto-update on |
| Push to Quest fails | Check adb.exe is next to ParaKit.exe (or in Requirements\platform-tools\), and confirm Developer Mode is on for your Quest in the Meta app |
| App crashed silently | Check parakit_crash.txt next to ParaKit.exe |
| Clone Hero cymbals wrong | Verify pro_drums = True is in song.ini (ParaKit writes this automatically) |
| ML model not found | Click Download Model in the Detection Engine section, or place parakit_drum_model.onnx next to ParaKit.exe / in Requirements\ |
| Neural Stem Isolation log says "Separator failed" | v4.4.4-v4.4.7 had a bug where the splitter threw a NameError; fixed in v4.4.8. ParaKit cleanly falls back to default detection so your conversion still finishes. Re-download the model only if the log says hash-mismatch. |
| Hybrid feels worse than Spectral on a drums-only stem | Old v4.0-era guidance said Spectral was better for drums-only stems. v4.3.30+ data shows Hybrid wins decisively (snare F1 0.12 → 0.65 on metal). The in-app guidance was corrected in v4.4.9. Use Hybrid. |
| MIDI Notes | Instrument | Paradiddle |

| Version | Summary |
|---|---|
| v4.4.52 | Update check rewritten — The Check for Updates button (top right corner of app) now fetches the LimeWire release page, reads the version from the page title, and prompts you when a newer ParaKit is available; clicking Yes opens your browser to the LimeWire link for manual download. No more silent auto-update or Google Drive routing. Kick clustering tightened in Audio → MIDI — the hybrid-mode ML-only kick gap widened from 45 ms to 60 ms, so dense metal tracks no longer produce visually duplicate kick pairs in the editor; legitimate fast double-kicks at metal tempos are still detected. Waveform display mode "Jagged (Detailed)" renamed to "Jagged Hollow" for clearer language; existing saved config selections are preserved (no reset needed). Help tab gains a new "Send to Song Creator" entry under the MIDI Editor section explaining the full handoff workflow (MIDI + Drums stem auto-copy + "Use BPM from MIDI file" auto-enable) and what you still need to add manually. Plus cosmetic doc cleanups, stale "Track Preview" docstring sweep, and README for users.txt removed (the help tab & github README serves in its place). |
| v4.4.51 | MIDI Editor "Send to Song Creator" button now also sends the currently loaded Drums audio stem into Song Creator's Drum Audio field, alongside the MIDI. Pairs with the v4.4.40 BPM auto-enable + v4.4.41 save-unsaved-before-handoff so a Song Creator handoff arrives with MIDI + Drums Audio + correct BPM source all set. Backing audio (Song Audio / Full Mix) is still added manually so the user can choose which stem ships as the in-game backing track. |
| v4.4.50 | Song Creator BPM defaults flipped. "Use BPM from MIDI file" is now the default toggled option and is labeled (recommended); "Auto-detect BPM from audio" is still available, just no longer the default. Reflects the typical ParaKit workflow where the MIDI is created in-app (via Audio → MIDI or the MIDI Editor) so the BPM is already correct in the MIDI file. Existing projects keep their saved BPM-source setting on load. |
| v4.4.45 - v4.4.49 | 1080p Layout Mode (manual override + auto-detect + docs). New Tools > Layout Mode submenu lets you force Auto (default), Compact (1080p / smaller displays), or Roomy (1440p / larger displays). Compact mode tightens the header, logo, wordmark, tab strip, buttons, and helper text so the MIDI Editor piano roll and Velocity Lane have more room on 1080p displays. Auto-detect threshold broadened to also cover 1920x1200 panels. A small orange hint under the main header tells users to use Tools > Layout Mode if ParaKit looks cramped on their monitor; Help tab gains a dedicated Layout Mode (1080p / 1440p) section explaining what each option does and when to use each. About ParaKit dialog now credits the creator. Roomy-header README/Quick-Start row removed so the layout hint adds zero net vertical space on 1440p. |
| v4.4.44 | Internal What's New panel cleanup (consolidated the recent visual-polish iteration entries into one Polish pass block so the in-app panel reads cleaner). No source-side functional changes. |
| v4.4.43 | App-wide dark purple button style. All buttons across the app have been updated to match the purple theme better than the old dark magenta style |
| v4.4.42 | Song Creator "auto-clip first 15s of Song Audio as preview" option removed and replaced with guidance to use Asset Manager. Song Audio is typically the backing track without drums, so the old auto-clip often produced empty-sounding previews. New flow: trim the preview clip from the full mix in Asset Manager, then click "Send clip to Song Creator" to populate the Preview Clip field automatically. Compact-layout pass on 1080p monitors also tightened (smaller header/logo, tabs, buttons, MIDI Editor helper text). |
| v4.4.40 - v4.4.41 | MIDI Editor → Song Creator handoff fixes. The handoff button now automatically enables Song Creator's "Use BPM from MIDI file" toggle and writes any unsaved MIDI Editor edits to disk before sending the MIDI path onward. Prevents Song Creator from converting a stale disk version of a MIDI you edited but forgot to save. In Save-as-copy mode, ParaKit prompts for the copy path first; in Modify-original mode, it writes the current notes back to the original MIDI file before handing off. |
| v4.4.39 | 1080p compact layout mode (auto-detect). ParaKit detects 1920x1080-class monitor work areas at startup and switches to a tighter chrome layout — smaller header, smaller logo/wordmark, tighter notebook tab padding, smaller button padding, tighter MIDI Editor field/frame spacing. 1440p+ displays keep the roomier layout. Multi-monitor setups where auto-detect picks the wrong monitor can use the manual override added in v4.4.45. |
| v4.4.36 - v4.4.38 | Radio button text labels across the app rendered in ParaKit primary purple instead of the default light-gray, matching the radio indicator dots' color. Theme is now re-applied on every tab switch so the just-activated tab's radios always render with the correct foreground (earlier builds only applied on the tab open at startup). |
| v4.4.31 - v4.4.34 | Recent-files dropdown improvements. Each file in any "▾" recent-files dropdown now has its own small "✕" remove button on the right -- drop a single file from the list without clearing all of them. The dropdown row-hover highlight and the X-button color are now ParaKit purple (the dropdown previously used a red accent that didn't match the rest of the app). Tooltips and recent-files dropdowns are also border-aware: when one would clip off the right or bottom screen edge, it auto-shifts left or flips above the widget so it stays fully visible. |
| v4.4.30 | Preview/Practice Track: the right-side Visual Settings + Lane Visibility panel now sits directly adjacent to the play area instead of hugging the far right edge of the tab. The play area still occupies the left half of the tab; only the right-side panel position moved. |
| v4.4.28 - v4.4.29 | Waveform display style toggle in the MIDI Editor. The waveform strip below the piano roll can now render in three styles: Bars (default per-pixel intensity-gradient), Filled (Jagged) (peak-traced ParaKit-purple polygon — easier to read on dense passages where Bars looks like a uniform stripe), and Jagged (Detailed) (two thin purple lines tracing the top and bottom of the audio peaks with empty space between them — same rendering style as the developer Stem Compare tool). Toggle in the Display & Snap panel; preference is remembered across app restarts. |
| v4.4.27 | Practice Mini-Game: the per-lane keypress flash bar (the short-lived colored bar that appears when you tap a lane key) now sits at the bottom of the play area, right above the key/note legend strip. Earlier placement was too close to the note outlines at the hit line. |
| v4.4.26 | Practice Mini-Game directional hit feedback. The old single "GOOD" mid-tier label is replaced by directional EARLY and LATE labels. EARLY shows when you press a key before the note's perfect window; LATE shows when you press after. PERFECT (±35 ms) and MISS are unchanged. Hit window stays ±75 ms. |
| v4.4.25 | Preview/Practice Track layout: the play area now occupies about half of the window width (was nearly full width), with the Visual Settings + Lane Visibility panel sitting to the right. Default note fall time changed from 8.0s to 2.5s — notes feel snappier and arrive faster by default. Use the Zoom slider on the tab to dial back up if you prefer a slower pace; range still 0.5-15.0s. |
| v4.4.21 - v4.4.24 | Practice / Preview Track corrective polish. Practice keypresses register reliably even after clicking other controls (key handling moved to root-level binding with editable-widget guard). Preview falling notes now disappear immediately when they line up with the hit-line outline instead of hanging for a fraction of a second past it; Practice keeps the small hangover so PERFECT/EARLY/LATE/MISS feedback labels have a paired visual at the hit line. Practice notes share the same light outlines as Preview notes. Default note size restored to 0.8x. |
| v4.4.18 - v4.4.20 | Preview/Practice Track: the speed slider has been removed. It was causing timing issues -- the time-stretch path didn't always sync cleanly back to the falling-notes display. Use the existing Zoom (note fall time) slider to slow down practice instead; it handles the same use case without touching audio timing. Corrective Practice visual fixes followed: per-lane keypress flash, per-lane hit-line target markers (square or round, matching Square Notes setting), and white outlines on Preview falling notes were all restored. |
| v4.4.16 - v4.4.17 | Small UI polish bumps in the iteration window between v4.4.15 (label cleanup) and v4.4.18 (speed-slider removal). Minor tooltip / status copy fixes. |
| v4.4.15 | MIDI Editor / Help / Song Tester: stale "Track Preview" label updated to "Preview/Practice Track" across the live UI and Help tab (the tab itself was renamed in v4.3.5; some live buttons + Help text didn't track the rename). Tab-number references corrected in the Help tab and the Audio → MIDI sync-warning popup. README versions also bumped to match. No behavior changes. |
| v4.4.14 | Encoding-roundtrip cleanup. Plus-or-minus signs (±), the warning triangle (⚠), a checkmark (✓), and an arrow (→) were rendering as garbled characters (± / ?) in nine spots — Sheet Music Help, MIDI Editor reactive-notes Help, Practice Mini-Game older-version notes, two Audio → MIDI sync-warning popups, MIDI Editor Review Issues status, and a debug log line. All nine fixed; text reads cleanly everywhere. |
| v4.4.13 | MIDI Editor hotkeys (1-8), D-key marker drop, and Ctrl+V paste now work correctly during playback. Previously they dropped the note/marker/paste at the playback START position (frozen offset) instead of the live audible playhead — so notes always landed at t=0 or wherever you pressed Play from. All three handlers now use the live playhead during playback and the last canvas-click position when paused, matching the documented behavior. |
| v4.4.12 | Stem Splitter output folder rename. "SPLITS TO USE IN AUTO DETECTOR" is now called "LOSSLESS SPLITS (DRUMS)" — same folder, same content (lossless FLAC drums stem fed to Audio → MIDI for cleaner detection), just a clearer name describing what's in it. Existing folders on your disk keep their old names; new conversions create folders with the new name. |
| v4.4.11 | Build layout change for the .exe download. PyInstaller spec switched from --onefile (single self-extracting .exe) to --onedir (small ParaKit.exe + _internal/ folder containing all bundled libraries). The whole folder is what users download and unzip; total disk size is roughly the same as the onefile build, just split. Faster startup (no temp-folder extraction every launch) and ParaKit.exe is small enough to host on GitHub Releases directly. No effect on .py runs. |
| v4.4.10 | Build packaging fix for the .exe release. The PyInstaller spec was missing the v4.4.4 Neural Stem Isolation backend module, so a built .exe would have failed to run the AI splitter at runtime with a missing-module error. Spec is fixed; the next .exe build packages it correctly. No user-visible behavior change for .py users. |
| v4.4.9 | Audio → MIDI Detection Engine guidance copy corrected. The note under the Spectral / ML / Hybrid radios used to say Spectral was the better choice for drums-only stems. That was outdated v4.0-era advice. Internal testing on a metal drums-only corpus shows Hybrid wins decisively: snare F1 0.12 → 0.65, hi-hat 0.00 → 0.27, crash 0.16 → 0.23. New note now recommends Hybrid for both full mixes and drums-only stems. No detection logic changed; only the guidance text. |
| v4.4.8 | Neural Stem Isolation actually works now. Since v4.4.4 the new toggle was silently failing every time at the start of conversion (NameError on a missing import time inside the v4.4.4 separator-slot wrap), so ParaKit fell back to default detection on the original audio. Conversions still completed but you weren't getting the AI-cleaned drums. Fix: added the missing local import. Surfaced by smoke test 2026-05-09. |
| v4.4.7 | Loading bars added to the Audio to .ogg Converter and Create Multiple Songs tabs. Both tabs now show ParaKit's animated purple progress bar while a conversion is running, so you can tell at a glance the app is still working instead of frozen. Covers both the 3-slot batch section and the Folder Batch section underneath it. |
| v4.4.6 | Audio → MIDI tab: "Setting Snapshots" panel renamed to "Settings Profiles". Same feature -- save, load, and delete your favorite detector configurations under a name. Just a clearer label for what the panel does. |
| v4.4.5 | Detection Engine "↓ Get Model" button is fixed. Previously the button tried to download the AI drum model from the wrong web address, so it always failed with "Download failed from all sources." Button now reaches the correct GitHub release on the first try. Also: Get / Download Model buttons now gray out automatically once the model is on your computer (applies to the Detection Engine model, the Stem Splitter DrumSep model, and the v4.4.4 Neural Stem Isolation model). |
| v4.4.4 | Neural Stem Isolation (experimental, opt-in). New section in Audio → MIDI Settings. Off by default; flip the radio to Jarredou MDX23C and ParaKit runs your audio through an AI drum-stem splitter before detection, cleaning up bleed between kick / snare / hi-hat / toms / cymbals. Detection then runs on the cleaned audio. First-time setup downloads a one-time ~417 MB model to your user app-data folder. Adds ~30-60s per song on CPU. Internal testing on a 5-track metal corpus measured snare F1 +0.24, kick +0.16, crash +0.13 over default detection. Architecturally the first plug-in for ParaKit's new separator-slot system -- future research-validated drum splitters can plug into the same slot. |
| v4.4.3 | Kick detection cleanup. The detector sometimes fired multiple kick onsets very close together (under 30ms) for what was actually a single kick hit, leaving cluster-style duplicate notes to clean up in the editor. Kick dedup window widened to 40ms (up from 30ms in spectral / 20ms in hybrid). Validated against a 5-track metal corpus: detection accuracy improves on every track, and legitimate fast double-kicks at metal tempos are not affected. |
| v4.4.1 - v4.4.2 | YouTube → FLAC tab gained an optional custom-filename override (checkbox + text field with Windows-illegal-character sanitization and a live preview). Enhanced Detection became selectable: Off, Crash only, Toms only, or Crash + Toms; existing v4.4.0 ON setting carries over as Crash + Toms. |
| v4.4.0 | Enhanced Detection extended from crash-only output to crash + tom output. The toggle that improves cymbal detection on tricky tracks now also helps with tom fills -- big rock and metal tracks with active fills benefit most. Default-OFF; tom-sparse songs should leave it off. |
| v4.3.30 | Snare wire-band threshold raised after empirical validation on an 18-track tuning corpus. Default snare detection is now stricter on what counts as a real snare hit, removing roughly 97% of detected false positives across pop / metal / rock / alternative tracks. Funk preset's ghost-note sensitivity is intentionally preserved. |
| v4.3.27 - v4.3.29 | UI polish bundle. Note size sliders in MIDI Editor / Preview / Practice replaced with precise +/- button steppers (preserves 0.3x-1.0x range and 0.3x default). MIDI Editor zoom slider removed; existing -/+ zoom became a labeled stepper. Single track / Layered radios stacked vertically to reclaim horizontal space. Scrollbars across the app recolored to ParaKit's purple accent so the thumb is visible against the dark canvas. Snap to grid checkbox visibility fix. What's New panel cleanup -- only the 3 most recent versions visible at top, older versions in a collapsible section. |
| v4.3.20 - v4.3.26 | Enhanced Detection cymbal path moved from Jarredou to LarsNet for a permissively-licensed alternative with comparable accuracy. Crash cooldown added to the LarsNet wrapper. Ride-toggle gating fix. Hi-hat adaptive cleaner experiment added then removed after empirical validation showed it was over-filtering real hi-hats on production code path. |
| v4.3.21 - v4.3.22 | MIDI Editor smoothness pass: playhead update rate doubled from 20 FPS to 40 FPS, reactive-note flash window loosened from 40ms to 50ms with crossing-detection so notes always flash even at fast tempos / heavy redraws. Stripped leftover debug [PLAYHEAD-DEBUG] print statements that v4.3.14 added for diagnostics. |
| v4.3.12 - v4.3.19 | V-drag removed from MIDI Editor (replaced by Reclassify mode -- click a note to pick its lane from a list, or drag up/down). Album art save now uses album.<ext> filename matching paradb convention. Audio → MIDI Detection Engine layout regression fixed (Browse / ✕ / Check / Get Model / Reset buttons render correctly again). Active engine label no longer truncated. Reactive-note early-trigger bug fixed (asymmetric trailing-only window). Encoding-corruption emergency recovery (v4.3.16 mojibake round-trip). |
| v4.3.0 - v4.3.11 | Track Preview tab renamed to Preview/Practice Track. Practice subtab gains pitch-preserving speed slider with live update during playback. Practice game hit feedback cleanup (PERFECT/GOOD/MISS label moved below hit line). Various MIDI Editor stability polish. Preview Audio Trimmer auto-routes preview clip into Song Creator. |
| v4.2.12 | All option sliders now show faint tick marks below the track so common settings are easier to dial in from memory (ticks every 10 px). Slider knobs are now purple across the app, matching the loading bar and button accent color instead of the default blue. Applies to all sliders on Audio-to-MIDI, MIDI Editor, Song Creator, and Track Preview tabs. |
| v4.2.11 | MIDI Editor: Chart Start / Chart End markers. A green dashed line marks the first note in the loaded chart; an orange dashed line marks the last note. Both are labeled in the timeline header. On the waveform strip, audio before Chart Start and after Chart End is darkened so you can see at a glance which parts of the audio are not covered by the chart. Prevents users from mistakenly shifting notes to align with pre-roll audio, which would break in-game sync. Help tab updated with Chart Start / Chart End explanation. |
| v4.2.10 | MIDI Editor: hotkeys (1-8, Ctrl+Z/C/V, Delete, etc.) now resume working after typing in any text field — clicks on the editor canvas, waveform strip, or velocity lane reclaim focus automatically. Audio output latency slider (0-200 ms, auto-estimated per OS at startup: Windows ~42 ms / macOS ~22 ms / Linux ~37 ms) compensates for the gap between when audio playback starts and when sound reaches the speakers, so the playhead stays in sync with what you hear. T-tap and saved-on-pause positions also use the corrected audio-true time. |
| v4.2.9 | MIDI Editor: Grid resolution toggle added to Display & Snap panel. Choose 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, or 1/32 note subdivisions. Bar lines stay full brightness, beat lines stay normal, and subdivision lines are drawn progressively lighter — in 1/32 mode three shading levels appear (8th, 16th, 32nd). Switching the resolution never moves notes (positions are stored as absolute time and are unaffected by the visual grid). Help tab updated with grid resolution documentation. |
| v4.2.8 | Song Creator & Create Multiple Songs: "➕ Add more stem options" button replaces the .ogg reminder. Adds up to 4 extra audio tracks per song; each has a checkbox to mark it as Song audio (checked) or Drum audio (unchecked, default). Extra stems are added to the .rlrr track lists and copied to the output folder automatically. Song Creator: "✂ Auto-clip first 15s of Song Audio as preview" checkbox auto-trims a 15-second preview.ogg at convert time — disables the Preview Clip field while active. MIDI Extractor: output directory selector added. Top menu bar: MIDI Extractor added to Audio → MIDI and Tools menus. Help tab: Top Menu Bar section removed; Extra Stems + Auto Preview Clip documented in Song Creator section. |
| v4.2.7 | Audio → MIDI: MIDI Extractor panel added. Converts Paradiddle chart files (.rlrr) to MIDI without re-recording. Single file or batch folder mode, per-difficulty filter, pre-extraction preview, and metadata editing (title / artist / creator). Reveal via "▾ MIDI Extractor (hidden)" in the Advanced / Debug section of the Audio → MIDI tab. Requires the "Extractor Mini App" folder alongside ParaKit.exe. |
| v4.2.6 | Song Creator: new "Use album art from audio file metadata" toggle. Auto-extracts embedded cover art from the loaded Song Audio file (FLAC, MP3, OGG Vorbis, M4A, MP4), center-crops to 512x512, and uses it as the chart's cover image. WAV and audio with no embedded art show a clear warning. Cover Image row locks while the toggle is on. Toggle state persists across sessions. Front-cover preference applied for all four formats. Asset Manager Auto-Fetch "Apply to Song Creator" split into two buttons: "Apply Metadata" (Title + Artist) and "Apply art from thumbnail" (Cover Art only) — each independent. Practice Mini-Game: keypresses outside the ±75 ms hit window no longer count as misses or break the streak; only an unhit note passing the hit line still counts as a miss. MIDI Editor drag performance: snap-target search converted from O(N) linear scan to O(log N) bisect lookup, and marker drags now share the 16 ms redraw debounce — large files no longer stutter while dragging notes or markers. |
| v4.2.5 | Track Preview tab renamed to Practice Mini-Game. Canvases grouped on the left for a more square playfield. New gear button opens a Controls remapping dialog. Per-lane key-press flash bar lights up in the lane color on every keypress. New Beat grid toggle, Speed slider (0.7x to 1.0x with pitch-preserving time-stretching), Square notes toggle, lane color bars in the legend, bolder/spaced-out controls hotkeys. Hit detection now compares against the live playback position so well-timed keypresses correctly register. Mouse wheel scroll locked over the playfield; hit line moved up for visibility. |
| v4.2.4 | MIDI Editor: new V hotkey lets you drag notes freely in both directions at once -- left/right moves time, up/down moves between lanes. V+RightMouse locks motion to vertical-only. Multi-select V-drag preserves the relative vertical pattern. New "Show even when snap off" toggle keeps the yellow guide line visible during drags. Right-click during an active drag is now swallowed by the canvas so the V+L+R lock gesture cannot accidentally delete notes or open menus. |
| v4.2.3 | Track Preview now includes a keyboard-only Practice subtab with drum-style controls, hit/miss feedback, streak and accuracy tracking, and input latency adjustment. Practice Mode is visual only and does not edit MIDI files or add external MIDI device support. |
| v4.2.2 | MIDI Editor: kicks are now selectable only from the Kick lane (clicks landing near a kick line in another lane no longer steal selection from the intended note). Uniform Colored Notes color darkened from near-white to a readable medium gray. |
| v4.2.1 | Curated ground-truth validation now uses a manifest, so cleaned reference MIDIs can be added without editing code. Added standalone curated MIDI QA checks and per-track Markdown validation reports for detector reference work. |
| v4.2.0 | UI polish pass: buttons gained subtle borders, raised/pressed states, clearer hover feedback, and neon loading bars were retuned with a cleaner trough, softer glow, tighter dots, and smoother comet trail. |
| v4.1.9 | Audio to MIDI cleanup logs clarified, Review Issues flam wording updated to distinguish editor softening from generated-flam removal, and stale one-off debug/sweep scripts marked so future detector work uses the current validation path. |
| v4.1.8 | Optional Requirements\ folder support for helper files and downloaded models. Audio to MIDI crash/hi-hat overlap cleanup and generated-flam removal default ON. Stem Splitter sends lossless detector FLACs to Audio to MIDI. |
| v4.1.5 | Detection Troubleshooter "Flag in MIDI Editor" per problem -- flagged notes shown with orange outline, jumps to MIDI Editor. Flag workflow closed: right-click flagged note to clear it, Next Flag button to step through all flags, Clear Flags button, live flag counter. Re-run ML and Review Issues tooltips clarified (Troubleshooter = fix settings, Review Issues = clean up result). MIDI Editor redraws viewport-culled + debounced -- large files dramatically faster. Accent notes now hot pink outline. Misclassification outline yellow (lime on Ride). "Show notes as icons" defaults OFF. Header logo PIL LANCZOS. |
| v4.1.4 | Detection Troubleshooter added to Help tab -- paste Audio -> MIDI log, check symptom boxes, and auto-apply selected settings. "Show notes as in-game icons" toggle added. App header updated for Paradiddle + Clone Hero. Album art placeholder added to Asset Manager. |
| v4.1.1 | MIDI Drums playback removed. Velocity Filter added to toolbar. Reclassify mode gains vertical drag -- drag note up/down to change lanes in real time. Tempo Map moved to floating popup. Clone Hero audio filename fix + pro_drums = True added to song.ini. Help tab search highlights collapsed section headers. |
| v4.0.9 | Clone Hero export added to Song Creator and Batch conversion. Format selector: Paradiddle, Clone Hero, or Both. Exports notes.chart + song.ini, copies audio and cover art. |
| v4.0.8 | Live elapsed-time bars and per-line [mm:ss] timestamps added to Audio->MIDI, Sheet Music->MIDI, and YouTube->FLAC logs. Asset Manager metadata fetcher improved. |
| v4.0.7 | Undo/redo now restores full MIDI Editor state -- notes, markers, flags, selection, and timeline length. Dedup and Flam no longer wipe redo history on bail-out. |
| v4.0.3-4.0.6 | Gap-based Dedup dialog, impossible 3-hit cluster removal, Soft Quantize, Re-run ML, Review Issues wizard, ML confidence shading, per-song settings memory, kick cross-lane click fix, PyInstaller multiprocessing fix. |
| v4.0.0-4.0.2 | ML/ONNX Detection Engine (ADTOF), Hybrid mode, confidence threshold, per-engine dedup, ONNX model auto-detect, GitHub version check, graceful fallback to Spectral. |
| v3.5.1 | DrumSep drum component separator, DPI awareness, ghost/accent visuals, layered audio sync fixed, velocity lane live redraw, collapsible help tab with What's New. |
| v3.5.0 | Asset Manager, auto-metadata fetch, Push to Quest via ADB, zip output, Ghost Overlay, Custom Isolation Split BETA, global crash handler. |
| v3.3.2 | Multi-stem audio workspace (4 slots), layered playback, mixer, 1-8 hotkeys, Flam, Markers, Velocity Lane, Quantize, Copy/Paste, Dedup, Repeat. |
| v3.3.0 | YouTube -> FLAC tab, auto-updater, edit tools. |
| v3.2.0 | Sheet Music -> MIDI tab. App rebranded from SongMaker to ParaKit. |
| v3.1.0 | Multi-select, playback speed, loop section, project save/load. |
| v3.0.0 | Renamed to ParaKit, dark theme, genre presets reworked. |
