- STANDARD MIDI FILE TO CMF FILE CONVERTER - mid2cmf.exe ver 1.10
- Copyright (c) Creative Technology Pte. Ltd. March 1991
- ==================================================================
- ( For internal use only )
-
- This disk contains 6 files :
- (1) mid2cmf.exe
- (2) melody.ibk
- (3) drum.ibk
- (4) hellomy.mid (sample MIDI file)
- (5) saint.mid (sample MIDI flle)
- (6) readme.doc
-
-
- This program is able to convert MIDI files to CMF file. It only
- supports MIDI source files saved using the later version of SEQUENCER
- PLUS JUNIOR (SpJr).
-
- The difference between the old version and the new version of SpJr is
- the drum channel. The older version of SpJr used channel 16 as drum
- channel whereas the later version uses channel 10. If your SEQUENCER
- software is the old version, please change all the drum channels to
- channel 10 to make sure that the conversion is correct. The future
- version of this software will cater for the old version of SpJr also.
- It will also be able to convert MIDI files from other sources.
-
- This program will make use of the instruments from the bank files come
- together with this disk. The 2 bank files are :
- (i) MELODY.IBK
- (ii) DRUM.IBK
-
- MAKE SURE THAT THESE 2 FILES ARE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY AS
- mid2cmf.exe .
-
- ALL the channels and instruments used will be display. The
- instruments' code used is based on the SpJr. (Please refer to SpJr
- manual Appendix A5). I have also defined another set of code specially
- for drums. There are listed as follow :
-
- CODE INSTRUMENT NAME
- ==== ===============
- 128 BASS DRUM
- 129 SNARE DRUM
- 130 TOM-TOM
- 131 CYMBAL
- 132 HIHAT

- IMPORTANT
- =========
- - If the conversion program hangs and gives you a "Memory Allocation
- Failed" error. PLEASE check again using the SpJr to make sure that
- the source has been correctly saved because Spjr sometimes make
- mistake when saving the files. After saving a file , RELOAD the file
- and listen again to check whether it has been correctly saved.
- Meanwhile , I am also trying to overcome this problem.
-
- - If you try to convert MIDI files from other sources, the program
- will still convert it over to CMF BUT the instruments used may
- not be the same as the original songs. In order to overcome this
- problem , you can use Spjr to change the instruments.
