Thanks Miller, Christof, Patko,

midi2sco looks really good, I also found midi2csv which does a similar job, keeping the midi pitch notation but possibly specifying time in midi ticks, hence needing some polishing of the results as well.

best, Peter

I've been using the "midi2sco" program to convert MIDI files to csound scores and then either reading the csound straight into a text object (read -c message so end-of-line terminates lists) - and/or writing simple awk scripts to change csound pitch notation back into MIDI pitches and convert times to milliseconds.

cheers

You can read the MIDI file with [mrpeach/midifile], output everything in a loop and save the MIDI messages in a [text] object. You just need to calculate the appropriate time delta between messages.

Hi,

starting to use [text sequence] instead of [qlist] more and more, I am wondering how difficult it might be to write an external script that converts .mid file into .txt usable by [textfile sequence]?

Has anyone attempted something similar already? What would be the easiest language and/or libraries to do this on DebianGNU Linux?

Thanks! Peter

Hello Alexandre,

Yes, [else/midi] v.1.0.0 rc-7 can do it, but... It's Text format is not fully time-wise compatible with [cyclone/seq] v.0.7.0 output.

Examples using the same MIDI file saved as TEXTE file: [else/midi] -> file.txt with delta time (ms) between 2 successive lines 39.0625 153 53 0; 46.875 151 84 0; 0 151 81 70; 13.0208 145 36 11; 5.20833 153 81 66; 0 177 1 0; 0 225 0 64; 39.0625 153 81 0; 65.1042 153 81 56; 39.0625 153 81 0; 65.1042 153 51 51; 39.0625 153 51 0; 65.1042 153 81 59; 39.0625 153 81 0; 0 145 36 0; 65.1042 153 81 58;

[cyclone/seq] -> file.txt with cumulative delta time (ms) from the beginning of the song 7565.1 153 53 0; 7611.98 151 84 0; 7611.98 151 81 70; 7625 145 36 11; 7630.21 153 81 66; 7630.21 177 1 0; 7630.21 225 0 64; 7669.27 153 81 0; 7734.37 153 81 56; 7773.44 153 81 0; 7838.54 153 51 51; 7877.6 153 51 0; 7942.71 153 81 59; 7981.77 153 81 0; 7981.77 145 36 0; 8046.87 153 81 58;

It would be useful if both MIDI Sequencer objects can directly share the same Text format, for both file.txt and object's [print output], so previous files.txt done with [cyclone/seq] can be directly reused with [else/midi].

Thanks.

Best, Joe

Hi, the [else/midi] object can save a midi file to text in a format that can be used in [text].
