bulk midi sequencer

bulk midi sequencer

2011-05-18 by Carrie

Anyone know of a good midi sequencer that will convert several midi files to one channel at the same time?  I have tried a few programs that work great for sequencing one song at a time, but I would like to open a whole folder of songs and convert them all to one channel.

Thanks

i don't know of any sequencers that do bulk file processing other than using cakewalk with a CAL script. i have a program called remap channels on the download page of my web site. it can be used to move data on any chosen channel to another channel. it works from text strings of the channel mapping you want. once you write a string you can save it for future use with the remap program. if you want to change everything on all channels to channel 1 for example you would write the following 2,1 3,1 4,1 ...... 127,1 there is also a doc on using spencers utilities on the same page. be warned that strange things can happen with merged events that might not be what you had in mind. there are advantages of bulk processing but also some unintended results with files that are different from what you might expect. http://www.spencerserolls.com/Files4Download.html
if you need more information or different features in the program let me know. lots of other useful programs for anyone messing around with MIDI files.

Hi, Search for software called GN MIDI. This has a re mapping feature and will do bulk conversions. Before using this software backup all your midi files and work only with copy's. The process involved is not reversable. Check out Carols website. It has all the information about computers and diskalvier's that one would ever need. It is an invaluable source.

what do you mean by convert to one channel? if you want to take all events on variety of channels (including all channels) and change them all to a single channel, i have a program that will do that in batch mode. you can change any channel to any other one in more complicated ways also.

Sorry, Please ignore my previous reply re Spencer Chase.  Spencer and I
exchange many emails on various matters and I just responded thinking that
this had come from him.

 

Kind regards
