- WM MID 1to0
- ───────────
-
- WM MID1to0 reads a Level 1 Standard MIDI file and creates a Level 0 Standard
- MIDI file {WMMID}, mixing down the multiple tracks of the former to the single
- track making up the latter. Sequence, Track and Instrument names are converted
- to Text events.
-
- This may come in handy when using software without support for Level 1 files.
- You may want to use WM MIDmute {MIDmute} and/or WM MIDsolo {MIDsolo} to break
- down the original file into several parts (so as to prevent mixing of tracks
- controlling different instruments but using the same channel number). All
- WAVmaker applications support Level 1 files, of course!
-
- Usage: MID1to0 <source> <destination>
-
- If no extension is specified, the default MID is used for both
- files. The source file may NOT be overwritten; you must use
- different filenames and/or extensions for source and destination.
-
- Note: Do not be surprised if the destination file is larger than the
- source file. Like WM MIDsolo {MIDsolo} and WM MIDmute {MIDmute},
- WM MID 1to0 writes out all events in full, while the source file
- may be employing "running status", i.e. leaving out the status
- byte (which identifies the event type, distinguishing e.g. a Note
- On from a Note Off) for all but the first event in unbroken chains
- of the same event type.
-
- The following title:value pairs are written to WAVmaker's public Function key
- file {FnKeys} upon successful termination:
-
- File #1 : <source>
- File #2 : <destination>
