Wasabi is a portable application and does not require an installation. Your system must support Vulkan.

You can download and run a pre-built binary of Wasabi from the releases page.

You can build Wasabi yourself by following these steps:

Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/BlackMIDIDevs/wasabi.git (or download as a ZIP from GitHub)
Make sure that the Rust toolchain and the Vulkan SDK are both installed on your system
Inside the project directory run the following command to build Wasabi: cargo build --release
- Optionally you can add RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native" to your environment before compiling to optimize XSynth for your specific CPU
After the compilation is finished, you will find the binary under ./target/release

Before you can play a MIDI, you need to add soundfonts to the synthesizer by going to Menu -> Settings -> SoundFonts
To open a MIDI, click the folder icon on the top left, or press Ctrl+O on your keyboard
To find out about other keyboard shortcuts, head to Menu -> Shortcuts
