- Mid2Mod Converter
- ver 0.9
-
- Basically, this is a small utility program that I threw together.
- What it is suppose to do is convert SMF Midi files to Module files.
- The program will read in the first 4 tracks from the midi file that
- contain music, and place the notes into the module file. Nothing
- else is converted, including song names, track names, music speed,
- or volume. This is a bare bones converter.
-
- To use the program type the following command:
-
- mid2mod [midifile.mid] [output.mod] [magicnumber]
-
- - The midifile is the midi file that you would like to
- - The output file is the filename of the module that is created.
- If you do not provide a name, the midi filename will be used,
- except that it will have a .mod extension instead.
- - The magic number is used to determine how the notes length of
- the midi file will be translated. Basically the larger the
- number, the smaller the notes lengths, but the module will be
- less accurate. The smaller the number, the notes will be of
- greater length, with more accuracy. The default is 20. I
- would recommend staying within a range of 10 to 60.
-
- Although this program works fine on many midi files, some of them
- do not translate well at all. I don't know if this is because they
- are not standard midi files, or I am doing something wrong.
- However, I do not plan on fixing this program unless a decent
- number of people would like me to.

- billboards.
