Andrew Scott (Mosman Park, Australia) submits his PTMID music conversion utility. Specifically, PTMID takes General MIDI files (format 0 or 1) and converts them to Protracker MOD files or Multitracker MTM files. As you may know, MIDI files are industry standard, but need some sort of sequencer to be played. This is because there can be near-infinite simultaneous notes present (though about 20 is a standard maximum). Protracker files are 4 channel (though 6, 8, or more can be supported) files, but have a bank of digitized instruments included. This allows reasonable quality sound to be produced given limited hardware. Multitracker files are similar to MOD files and support up to 32 simultaneous notes. PTMID version 0.3 (released on 07/18/94) is immediately available on CUG Library volume #432A.
