David asked: >Very impressed to hear about the E-Tracker to Midi program...
As I said before, so am I.. I'd like to see it. There's also a small problem of matching the Tracker's samples to a MIDI voice. But, that's not such a problem if you have an expensive keyboard that you can upload voices to - just convert the Tracker samples to voices and throw it up there. But I don't have such a keyboard! :( >What's the chance of doing the oppisite? Taking the raw Midi data and >creating a Pro/E-Tracker file from it? That might be an interesting problem. If my understanding is correct, Pro/E-Tracker music files are created using short patterns that are played over-and-over again in different sequences... Whilst, generally, MIDI files tend to be like one (or more if Type 1) long stream of commands. Tho, SAM Sequencer uses the same concept of patterns, aswell... (Which is why, even though my SMF -> SAM-Seq converter will be easy enough, a SAM-Seq -> SMF could turn out to be one hell of an arse-ache!) Then again, I don't really know how the SAM versions do it. Can they cope with just a long pattern per MIDI track? Again, there's the "fun" problem of creating tracker samples mimicking the keyboard voices - but, somehow, I don't think that's what you want, anyway... (more like create new samples to creat new sounds but from MIDI data) Justin
