Hi, I would like to import some of my old school Octamed midi tracks to Renoise… But I am completely lost about the converting. Renoise cannot import MED V2, right? But there was some tracker that was able to read Octamed and as far as I remember to export as Fasttrekker… Also there are some Oktal…

Years ago I suggested more and better import options (especially MED too) … but it’s maybe a lot of work to implement this and today, only a few people would use it. BTW: OpenMTP supports OctaMED (more or less good) … I tryed a cross conversion to Renoise, but the results are not so good. The bigg…

Hm, trying with OpenMRT, but the MED import is quite horrible. Even steps in patterns are wrong…

med2xm 1.4 running on UAE (FS-UAE on Mac) produces much better results than OpenMRT. But still all octamed filters and lot of other commands are lost. Is XM capable of using filters per channel? Never made any experiences with XM format… EDIT: Yes it’s quite an acceptable workflow. Little manual …

Hehe cool additional info. Yes my were mmd2s. Open rat quite messed up the songs while importing here… Maybe I missed some options… I really would like to see a way to convert future composer note data. Any clue if there was a converter available for Amiga? I remember there was something…

A good way is it to simply record midi from MED into a DAW using the PC-Version of MED. Afaik UAE has no midi capabilities … If you have a Mac it’s also possible to run MED on a virtual Win machine (Parallels Desktop) and using a network midi-driver to transmit the midi data to OS X ( http://www.tob…

but you have to find out a way to synchronous start/stop MED and Renoise (midi start-stop-messages?). You can imagine that’s not funny to fix misplaced recorded pattern data afterwards. This is only easy on a continuous timeline like in DAWs. This is completely true, since the Renoise advanced ed…

As said … afaik there are no ways to get the midi-data from an emulated AmigaOS (UAE), because the Amiga has no built-in midi-interface. I only read about some UAE feature requests about this by users … Renoise Midi is possible via tool: http://www.renoise.com/tools/midi-convert

Maybe if you still have a serial port on your PC, you could add a Amiga midi interface to uae? But the med2xm conversion wasn’t too bad… Instead one could write a renoise script that fixes the usual problems.

Maybe … that could be possible, Jurek. Another way could be collecting some money and maybe pay a programmer to write a converting tool. :slight_smile: (I had this idea - coding a converter by myself - in the past, but I’m only able to write some PHP in a non professional way - this would be a lot…

Importing Octamed songs? How to do?
