Jukebox – CANATO

The Jukebox is a playlist management tool where several MIDI files can be assembled and played in sequence, in loop or stepped manually. In addition each file can also have its key, tempo and volume changed during playback.

Playlist Controls

Playlists are managed in MidiYodi playlist files (*.mpl) which effectively stores references to the MIDI files that are part of the playlist and the playback settings for each file.

New Playlist	Resets the Jukebox including clearing listed MIDI files and dropping a possibly loaded playlist file.

Content Controls

Add File	Opens a file selection dialog where one or many MIDI files may be selected to be part of the playlist. MIDI files may also be drag-n-dropped into the Jukebox window. Note that once added to a playlist the MIDI files are referenced via their filenamepath so they must not be moved or renamed.
