Music Stuff

A Kotlin remake of Music Stuff for Android, iOS, Windows, Linux and macOS: convert FL Studio projects and generate new songs for FL Studio Mobile.

Features

• Converter: turns FL Studio Desktop .flp projects into FL Studio Mobile .flm projects, and .flm back into .flp.
• Generator: makes drums, bass, chords and a melody from a style, key, tempo and length. Preview the song, shuffle any part, and save it as .flm.

Everything runs on the device. Nothing is uploaded.

What gets converted

• Title, tempo and time signature
• Instrument channels and their names
• Pattern notes (position, length, key, velocity, release), placed where the playlist puts them

If the playlist has no pattern clips, patterns are placed one after another.

Limitations

• Image-Line doesn't publish these formats. The .flm code follows a real FL Studio Mobile 5.0.4 project and the .flp writer follows real FL Studio 20 projects, and both still need testing in the apps.
• Plugins, samples, audio clips, automation and mixer settings aren't converted. Each channel starts with an empty DirectWave sampler, so you'll need to pick instruments again in FL Studio Mobile.
• Slide notes become normal notes.
• Channels without notes are left out.
• FLM to FLP turns each clip into its own pattern, and FL Studio opens the project with empty Sampler channels and a default mixer.

Building

Requires JDK 17. The Android build also needs the Android SDK.

./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest -Pmusicstuff.modules=app
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug -Pmusicstuff.modules=app
./gradlew :desktop:run -Pmusicstuff.modules=desktop
./gradlew :desktop:packageExe -Pmusicstuff.modules=desktop
./gradlew :desktop:packageDeb :desktop:createDistributable -Pmusicstuff.modules=desktop
./gradlew :desktop:packageDmg :desktop:createDistributable -Pmusicstuff.modules=desktop
./gradlew :ios:linkDebugFrameworkIosArm64 -Pmusicstuff.modules=ios

The iOS app needs macOS, Xcode and XcodeGen. After linking the framework, run xcodegen generate in iosApp. The .ipa from CI is unsigned, so sign it or sideload it to install.

GitHub Actions builds on every push to main and uploads Music Stuff-Android, Music Stuff-Windows, Music Stuff-Linux, Music Stuff-MacOS and Music Stuff-IOS artifacts.
