spc2midi-tsuu: A new SPC to MIDI converter

Post by aikiriao »

(I moved the post from "General VGM Discussion and Software" to this channel. I'm so sorry to re-post.)

Recently, I released spc2midi-tsuu, a SPC (SFC/SNES music file) to MIDI (SMF) converter.
As you may know, it is strongly inspired by spc2midi, created by Gigo and Hill. spc2midi is quite good, but I want to make it easier to create MIDI. Also, VGMTrans is one of the best converters. But, for SPC, it cannot implement pitch bend (slide).

So, I decided to create a new tool. spc2midi-tsuu is a SPC-to-MIDI converter based on a SPC simulator, designed to assign MIDI programs more easily.

The tool is open source and available here: https://github.com/aikiriao/spc2midi-tsuu/releases
And for the tool demo, I converted some Super Puyo Puyo Tsuu songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZbZzeUTsjo

Please feel free to ask any questions/suggestions/bug reports!

P.S. (The reason why I posted to this forum)
I posted the same message to Zophar's Domain in the first week of February. Unfortunately, my account was banned as spam. I already asked the administrator the reason why my account was banned. But I cannot receive any message from the admin. I also posted to r/snes on Reddit, but I want more technical advice. So I decided to post to this forum.

Wow this tool is incredible, the customizability of the midi is something ive always dreamed of, especially in tools like vgm2mid. if theres one thing id like to have changed about it, often the previews of the snes instruments are very loud and so it becomes hard to cross compare them when picking midi insturments

Thanks for the comments!

Agreed, so I added a volume slider to the preview window. This is version 0.1.62:

Is the fix what you imagined? Please ask me if you have any concern on it.
