New Tool (3.0): Midi Convert

[ffx]

Is there any chance you can add program change support?

Using the instrument MIDI settings for program change to automatically make a track have that? Or add an FX?

Is this even possible? If so, I can try to create the feature and submit a PR to your tool repo?

Hi, I’ve used this tool to export a MIDI, the file gets generated, but it’s not opening in any tool. Looks like a decent MIDI file with MIDI and track headers, TXT file shows everything that got generated, but every tool I open it with doesn’t work, is this tool still supported? Should I send the midi + txt log to someone for analysis?

3.5 had some trouble running this, but it was easy to fix by just putting local arg = {…} at the top of two functions (process slicer). I guess quite a bunch of tools are in need of the same tweak.

arg: LuaJIT does not set the magic arg varargs variable, which already was deprected in Lua 5.1. Replace it with local arg = {...} instead. See lua arg vs {...} on stackoverflow

I’ve fixed that already here https://forum.renoise.com/t/post-your-rns-3-5-lua-api-6-2-tools-here/75434/2

Also better use that extended version, if you also want to have parameter automation.

EDIT: Uploaded new version to tools page now:

Thanks. That newest version (v0.2) still crashes on 3.5.1 for me with error that script failed in one of its notifiers:

Feel free to fix it, also, did you follow the instructions that I wrote onto the tool page?

I made a minor fix/addition:

If you have a midi-out-program set, this will add it to the export.

Wasn’t able to find the main repo on github so this is just a floating patch.

edit: Also the CC codes (including volume etc.) as well as pitch-bend and aftertouch were all being mapped to CC 20-29, which is not where they belong. I couldn’t find the actual code-IDs in the API, so I ended up parsing the parameter-names. Ugly, but it does the trick.

A little strange - MIDI convert tool for Renosie exports .mid file and is ok, except it can’t be imported into FL Studio when is too long. The same mid file imports into Studio One without a problem and then, when I export midi from S1, FL Studio imports it without a problem.
