Hi, I've created a perl script that load a MIDI drum tracks and convert it as a hydrogen file. This is still experimental but it somehow does the job (i.e: I can load it, play it and export it as WAV, which is what I needed).
This was tested on a linux machine, and relies in two external cpan.org packages (see script comments). Doing this program raised a few issues related to midi import: - instrument mapping between GMidi and H2 is not necessarily trivial - the pattern/note/score representation of H2 does not match well the nature of MIDI events (I sliced the whole thing in fixed length patterns). "intelligent" slicing in the hope of reusing similar/identical patterns is likely complex. (anyone has an idea?) - I never messed with MIDI before; I might have missed a few important things :) - we would need to expose a lot of parameters to make this import flexible enough (instrument map, handling of some MIDI controls, etc) Anyway, that's more a proof of concept than a definitive solution. It could be used as a base to implement the MIDI import feature within the main program. Let me know if you've any suggestion or problem using this program. Herve -=- PS: I still have a problem changing generated songs (which was not my main goal). When I save the changes, I constantly get this error: > hydrogen: src/lib/LocalFileMng.cpp:1213: void SongWriter::writeSong(Song*, std::string): > Assertion `instr->m_pADSR' failed. > Aborted (core dumped)
