So if I do the math from that thread and change the tempo on the MIDI used in mid2vgm 2612 it should sync up?

No. The difference between the algorithms in a nutshell is that I preferred to avoid jitters in the short run, while ValleyBell favoured a higher accuracy in the long run. I round each increment, he rounds the total.

Say, for example, that your events should be placed every 1.2 time units (of course there is no such thing as a "time unit", but it's for simplicity's sake).

To prevent jitter, my algorithm would round them all down to 1.0, resulting into events placed at timestamps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...

ValleyBell's algorithm, instead, would internally calculate the timestamps as 1.2, 2.4, 3.6, 4.8, 6.0, ..., and then round them to 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, ...

There is jitter in this case, since the events no longer have the same length between each other, but the global timing is better preserved overall, it correctly ends at time unit 6 while I end at time unit 5. The vice versa is also possible (and far worse) if the events were 1.5 time units apart or more.

The only way I can possibly see they sync up is some heavy quantization on the MIDI side, along with very divisible BPMs such as 120 or something, to ensure there are no "fractional time units".

Again, tl;dr: no, unless you want a headache.

Using mid2vgm PSG, how do you make the notes play at midi note length? They seem to play longer than the midi note and also will not play a triple A but one long A note.

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the notes get converted with the same duration as in the MIDI.

If you have 3 A notes without any sort of delay between (note end) and (begin of next note), then it will sound as a continuous tone.
This is because mid2vgm does not apply any sort of envelope and the "note off" and "note on" commands occour at the exact same time.
If you want any sort of volume envelope, I'm afraid you need to do that manually using Main Volume and Expression control changes.

Thanks for the info.

I'm having a problem with mid2vgm 2612. With any version I use of it, it gives me this error when I try to open it. I don't understand why. This file is nowhere to be found which is also strange. I ended up Googling it just now and apparently this can happen with other programs. I still couldn't fix it with regsvr32 comctl32.ocx or C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\comdlg32.ocx in Command Prompt. It's very strange. I even tried downloading the file from the one site and I still get it. I mean, look at this photo! This is weird. Does anyone think they know what the problem is?

P.S. Sorry for the huge screenshots.

hi .
now i'm try to using your mid to rf5c68 converter.
and i have some issues.
first: i notus in the samples definición file that some samples has a note for example 3c, 4c, or, e3, others has only the note number.
i want to test the tool with a single sample, using this single sample a cross the keyboard.
here is the definition file for it.
22 4C -1 acordeon1.wav
here is the wav file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/my2zm3g3mrfro ... 1.wav?dl=0
and here is the midi file.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hir78hnkw6na5 ... 1.mid?dl=0
when i try to convert this , tell'sme that none of the samples is loaded.
is there something wrong here?.
