What's the point?
=================
MID2XM is a MS-Windows program that as the title suggests converts MIDI
files into XM music modules (FastTracker 2 modules).
The purpose of MID2XM is to make it easier to create music modules for
demos, games or whatever. By using a MIDI sequencer and instrument to
record and edit the music before converting it with MID2XM to an XM
module. Rather than starting from scratch using a tracker.
Features
========
* Volume, pan, expression, modulation, pitch wheel and tempo
changes are all handled.
* Selectable quantization ratio and rounding of notes.
* XM channels can be allocated to any selected MIDI channels.
* Seperate selectable DRUM channel.
* Every MIDI program can be mapped to any XI instrument. (Multiple
programs can be mapped to a single XI instrument)
* Notification of any lost notes during conversion.
* Easy to use front-end, no messing about with text editors and
config files.
* Many MIDI tracks can use the same MIDI channel. ie. Split drum
tracks.
* Automatic calculation of required channels for conversion.
* Optimization of patterns (eliminate duplicate patterns)
* Optimization of drums (eliminate unused samples)
