Convert Type 1 Midi To Type 0 For Mac High Sierra
2003-08-13 08:44:44 UTC
I'm looking for a DOS or Windows based utility I can use to convert MIDI
Type 1 files into Type 0 files that I can use with my Yamaha DGX500 portable
electric grand piano. But here's the catch: the utility *MUST* maintain a
clean separation of the left and right hand parts in the converted file.
The DGX line of keyboards has a feature that lets you practice either the
left hand or the right hand in a variety of modes (real time, waiting,
muted, etc.). Unfortunately, the built-in floppy disk only recognizes Type
0 MIDI files.
There are about a zillion programs out there that convert from Type 1 to
Type 0, and I've tried them all. But they all suffer from the same
fundamental flaw: namely, they blindly map all treble clef staves (for both
the left and right hand) into a single treble clef stave. This process is
repeated for the base clef as well. The result is a jumbling of the left
and
right hands that makes the converted file unusable as a learning aid on the
DGX series of keyboards.
What I need is a utility that converts Type 1 MIDI piano solo pieces as
follows:
1. For the right hand part, merge the treble and bass clef staves into a
single treble clef stave, doing notation conversion as required.
2. For the left hand part, merge the treble and bass clef staves into a
single bass clef stave, doing notation conversion as required.
(Ideally, the user could specify treble or bass clef as the target for
either hand.)
3. Export the modified right and left hand parts as a Type 0 MIDI file.
Yamaha really should have provided this utility with the DGX keyboards, but
they didn't...so this is a money-making shareware opportunity for a smart
MIDI
developer out there. I'd easily pay $35.00 or more for a utility like this.

- GNMIDFMT converts between MIDI formats 0, 1, 2 (also called MIDI type or MIDI version).
There are three types of MIDI, Type-0, Type-1 and Type-2. Type 2 is very rare though, so we'll concentrate on 0 and 1. Both Type-0 and Type-1 only differ in the way the data is stored, so anything that can be heard in Type-1 can also be heard in Type-0. Consequently, you can even convert between the types with no loss of data or precision. Jan 09, 2004 There are 3 different 'Types' (sometimes called 'Formats') of MIDI files. Type 0 files contain only one track, and all of the MIDI messages (ie, the entire performance) is placed in that one track, even if it represents many musical parts upon different MIDI channels. Type 1 files separate each musical part upon its own track. Both Type 0 and 1.
