This is an external editor for taiko maps.
Download Link
The direct download may be slightly out-of-date, as I don't update it as often. After launching, a green arrow will appear on the top right of the menu if an update is available.
If you already have the program, you can use this one which only contains the file that actually changes. However, I would recommend just using the update button in the menu (should appear at top right if new version is available).
Update
Last update: April 2, 2024 v3.5.5
Features:
Edit multiple difficulties at the same time
SV editing with function based SV generation (without using a separate program and then reloading)
View gameplay alongside the map.
It's an editor
How:
Extract files from rar, run the exe. No idea if you can get this working on mac, the exe file just runs the jar file in libs with the included JRE.
Do not put this in a folder with special characters in the path. eg. ! as in osu!.
In the main menu, you can type to search. Click a map to open it.
Top left button or ctrl+n can be used to add another "view".
You may encounter crashes or bugs. If you do, please leave a comment with whatever details you can provide. An "error.txt" file should be generated in the case of a crash. If you could, include the contents of that file or dm it to me if you don't want to share folder names.
KNOWN ISSUES (mostly stuff I can't fix without completely remaking in a different engine):
May not run on certain pcs. May have something to do with openGL support.
Do not put the program in a location with non-alphanumeric (letters/numbers) characters in the file path. It may not work if you do.
Rapidly seeking in .ogg audio may occasionally glitch and jump to the start of the track.
If you delete an object, undo, select the object, then redo, the deleted object remains selected, which can result in buggy behavior.
Random stuff:
Why?
I wanted a taiko editor.
Why not work on lazer since they're adding a taiko editor there?
I started this a while ago, and am significantly more familiar with java than I am with C#, and I did not feel like learning the necessary details of how the engine for osu lazer works along with meeting the necessary standards for lazer code submissions. Working on my own means I can just add whatever feature I feel like.
Currently desired feedback:
literally anything, just say what you think would be helpful/important and if I agree I'll do it

Minor Notes
Initial load time can be slow if you have a lot of maps and not on an ssd. Subsequent times should be a bit faster.
The audio engine used is different, so some songs may play with the wrong audio offset. Use - and = to adjust the audio offset (hold ctrl to adjust larger amounts).
Takes a bit more ram than necessary. This should only be a notable problem if you have very limited quantities of ram (<1 or 2 GB) and want to edit extremely long (>15min) songs. For normal length maps it doesn't take that much.

Controls
Escape to exit.
You can see and modify all hotkeys in the editor's settings.
Exceptions are scroll wheel inputs.
Scroll normally to shift in time (or up and down if you have enough open to necessitate it)
Scroll with alt to scroll faster.
Scroll with ctrl to change snapping.
Scroll with shift to zoom in/out.
Navigation:
Click on timeline to jump.
Space to play/pause.
Left/Right arrows or z/x to move to previous/next snap.
Ctrl+left/right arrows or Shift+z/x to move to previous/next bookmark.
Z and X use shift as ctrl+z and ctrl+x are for undo and cut respectively.
Editor Controls:
Numbers for hotkeys to swap tools.
wertyuiop: instant use tools starting from index 2. Most tools do not support instant use.
- For placing objects, w and e will place a don/kat at the current position. If objects are selected, it will convert them to dons/kats instead.
- Using this to place a timing point will create a timing point with the same properties as the most recent one.
q - toggle finisher lock (makes placed objects finishers). Pressing q while objects are selected will convert them to/from finishers instead.
Holding Shift while placing dons/kats/sliders will make them finishers.
Mouse to use tools.
Right click to delete things.
Up/Down arrows to change playback rate. Speed changing was done through a lazy method, so pitch is also affected.
Ctrl+a - select all
ctrl+c - copy selection
ctrl+x - cut selection
` (~ key) - clear selection
ctrl+v - paste
ctrl+b - add bookmark at current position
ctrl+g - reverse selection
ctrl+alt+r - resnap selection - TEST FEATURE, I would not rely on this.
ctrl+n or top right button - open a new view
ctrl+s - save current difficulty
ctrl+shift+s - save all open difficulties
ctrl+z - undo
ctrl+y - redo
delete/backspace - delete selection, or if nothing is selected, delete object near the current time.
ctrl+scroll wheel to change snaps
shift+scroll wheel to change zoom
Scroll wheel can also be used to navigate through song.
If there are enough views to enable view scrolling, the scroll wheel will do that instead.
Selection tool:
Click an object to select it. Clicking directly on an object and dragging it will move it.
You can click on green lines and drag up and down to adjust their value in the SV editor. Holding shift will decrease how much it changes. I wouldn't recommend actually using this since you don't have that much precise control.
Instead, click on the label that says the SV of the line to adjust it by typing.
Clicking and dragging not directly on an object will select a range.
You can hold alt while dragging most things to ignore snaps. No idea why you'd want this, maybe for moving a green line? Idk, it was less than a line of code so I did it.
Other:
- and = to adjust offset. Some songs may not play with the correct offset. Use this to adjust. Hold ctrl to increase how much offset is adjusted by.
I can never remember which way positive/negative numbers are supposed to go for audio offset so if they're opposite how they should be tell me.
(I think I have it backwards right now.)
if sfx are late, use +. Early, use -.
Hold alt to adjust the offset of the waveform in effect views.
