- type:util/conv

- Yo! Dudez!
-
- Ahhhhhhh, so here it is finally a Protracker module to
- midi file converter for the Amiga, why has it taken
- so long you ask, well who knows, lotsa slak people ???
-
- Requirements :
- Amiga A1000/A500/A600/A1200/A4000 or CD-32 or (A5000)
- OS 1.3 thru OS3.1
- NOTE: gadtools13.library and asl13.library needed for pre
- OS2.0 machines
- NOTE: I have only an A1200 and have not tested this on
- a OS1.3 or OS2.x machine, though it should work!
-
- Installation:
- Copy the font to your 'fonts:' dir
- Copy the libraries to your 'lib:' dir
-
- Includes: Amiga C source code and original PC version w/source
-
-
- The original program was 'modmidi2' a pc program that could
- convert .mod to .mid , I ran it and #&$^%$ thepc is crap, herendous
- interface, no file requestor etc...
- AHHHH but look, it comes with C source , YEAH!! I yelled
-
- With little time on my hands, all I wanted to do is change the
- high level user-interface code, the rest would directly compile
- under SAS and it would all work!
-
- I did just that, with Amiga menus not DOS text menus and proper
- file requestor and not just asking for file name string.
- The only aspect of it that remains like a PC is that I have
- not used listviews or fancy gadgets etc.. too much work!
- So that part is just like the PC :-( , but still quite usable.
-
- When first run, select with the menus the source module file
- then the destination midi file, then reassign all the module
- samples to the proper midi instruments using 'REMAP SAMPLES'
- menu option, then select the sample and the instrument, its easy!
-
- The validity of the conversion is only as good as the original PC
- program, so dont blame me, the source is here, so play with that.
-
- NOTE: the converter makes X amount of tracks for all samples
- that have a name, so even though you might use only 2 samples in
- the module and have named all the samples, it will create a track
- for all those samples that have a name. ie. some Roland decks and
- hardware gizmos don't like midi files with more that 16 tracks!
-
- ok have fun dudez.....
-
-
- Rave on and be merry.
