Description

NewRisingSun[3] wrote:
NewRisingSun's SND2MID.COM converts from Sierra sound resource format to Standard MIDI File format. Syntax is: "SND2MID.COM devices files". "Devices" can be "*" for all, or "a" for AdLib, "m" for Roland MT-32, "h" for "General MIDI", "s" for "PC Speaker", "t" for "Tandy", and so on. More than one letter is possible, and "files" can be more than one file. Example "SND2MID.COM am *.snd" converts all .snd files, extracting only tracks for devices AdLib and Roland MT-32. The track names of the resulting Standard MIDI File have device lists in brackets that are needed by Sierra's Sierra Music File Compiler (SMF.EXE) for re-conversion. Reverb controllers that MT32.DRV translates into System Exclusive Messages are kept as they are, and all other events are untouched. This makes it possible to later convert the Standard MIDI Files back to Sierra sound resource format.
