- Classic spc2midi also applies a reverb and chorus that you presently do not write to the MIDI file.  Can those be added as well?  I've completed 13 soundtracks thus far started with classic spc2midi, and would like to keep my releases fairly consistent.

I have added Reverb Send and Chorus Send output in version 0.2.54.

By default, spc2midi-tsuu initializes both Reverb Send and Chorus Send to 0. This may be different from the default behavior of some GM/GS/XG-compatible MIDI devices or sequencers, but I chose this behavior to avoid accidentally inheriting send values from the previous sequencer or synthesizer state.

Can you change typing the number in the instrument list to jump to it rather than filtering?

I have tried adding a related feature. When you type in the program search box, spc2midi-tsuu now shows a nearby program list based on the search query. This does not completely replace the filtering behavior of the ComboBox yet, but it should make it easier to see the surrounding programs.

Could you check whether this behavior is close to what you had in mind? Please let me know if you have any questions or if it still does not work as expected.

Can you add a config file so settings can be saved between sessions?

spc2midi-tsuu can currently save and load per-song conversion settings as a JSON file (you can save from the "File > Save JSON..." menu), including program assignments. However, it does not yet have an automatic global config file for application settings between sessions.

Also, please note that the JSON format is not yet guaranteed to be stable, so files created by older versions may not always be compatible with newer versions.

The Device Settings for Audio Output do not appear to match what Windows lists.

Thank you for pointing it out. I changed the names of the displayed audio output devices in version 0.2.52. Could you check whether the names now look correct on your system.

From best I can tell, classic spc2midi does have some bend before all of the starting notes.  It creates type 0 files, so it's a bit hard to figure out in text form since they are all mixed together.

Thank you for checking this.

Classic spc2midi appears to emit pitch bend values at or before some NoteOn events in order to tune the note pitch. spc2midi-tsuu takes a different approach: it internally estimates the pitch as a fractional MIDI note number and tries to choose the closest MIDI note as the base note. Therefore, in some cases, a constant initial pitch bend is not needed.

However, if the first note really needs an initial pitch bend value, it should be emitted before or at the NoteOn. I will keep checking whether spc2midi-tsuu is accidentally delaying or omitting the initial pitch bend in some cases.

Some specific ones I have bookmarked in the past while working on my editor:

Soundtracks from old Sierra games

Large collection of GM and XG midi files

GM and karaoke files categorized by musical genre

A few of my links to larger collections have expired since bookmarking them, but there are also some incredibly large (by file count) torrents of archived midi files floating around the ol' internet.  archive.org is also a good place to find midi files, since many older midi sites no longer exist.

And my own files from my SNES MIDI Remaster Project

There is a lot of incorporation of MIDI jacks into pipe organs in the last 30 years (new and refurbishments) but most organists don't know what their purpose is and how it can expand the instrument's capability. The Global Organ Group owns most large players including Rodgers which until lately was owned for years by Roland who is already a corporate member of TMA.

Using MIDI 2.0 to bring simpler sound expansion module linkage to large organ consoles might be of interest to the organ community. It could also simplify installations by techs doing refurbishments. 

I was wondering if anyone is currently investigating/polling level of interest.

Thank you

My name is Joël and I work with computer music for 20 years. I started with Gtk+-2.0 for UI as it was released around 2002 and did my first programming experience with ANSI C99. Most coding was done on an intel based notebook running debian unstable.

Since hacking is a time expensive task, I enjoy creating music by importing SMF to my sequencer software.

A future goal would be to make more music and less programming.

So can you recommend any websites for SMF download?
