Debra MIDI Player 1.3.2
🎻 FFXIV Instrument System (new!)
Your bard now handles instruments for you:
- Auto-equip on Play — when a song starts, Debra equips your instrument through the Hypnotoad plugin. No plugin? The picker still shows you which instrument to open in the Perform menu.
- Instrument picker in the FFXIV panel — "Auto" equips your default instrument (Harp out of the box, changeable in Settings), or pick any of the 28 instruments, sorted the musical way: Harp, Piano, strings, winds, brass, percussion.
- Remembered per song — pick an instrument once and that song will always start with it, alongside your saved track mix and octave.
- Live switching — change the instrument while a song plays: Debra pauses, leaves the performance, equips the new instrument and resumes right where you were.
- Electric guitar tone changes 🎸 — MIDI files with program changes (27–31, the same convention as other bard players) now switch guitar tones automatically mid-song: Overdriven, Clean, Muted, Power Chords, Special. Instant through Hypnotoad, or via your in-game "Tone" keybinds without it (configurable in Settings).
- Auto-equip checkbox — turn it off and Debra never touches your instrument.
🖱️ Double-Click Now Prepares
Double-clicking a song (any list — Library, Catalogue, Community, Favorites, Playlists) now loads it ready at 0:00 instead of playing immediately: adjust the track mixer, pick your instrument, then press Play. The ▶ button on each row still plays instantly.
🔔 Smoother Updates
- When a new version is available, the download window now opens right at startup — no more missing updates.
- After the download finishes, Debra opens the folder with the archive selected and closes itself, so the extraction never fights a locked exe.
🛠️ Fixes
- Community filters — fixed a flicker loop where the list kept flipping between "All songs" and a genre, making songs impossible to select.
- Localization safety net — English texts are now embedded in the app itself, so a partial update can never show raw text keys again.
- Instrument names now match the in-game Perform menu (e.g. "Piano").
