Midi to Text?

Hello,

Do you know any tool which can convert MIDI data to text?
I found one internet site, but 1) I don't like its output format and 2) I need some offline tool anway.

My wish would be:
- note start (e.g. 0005.01.01.00)
- length of note (e.g. 0001.00.00)
- note (e.g. F#5)
- velocity (e.g. 100)

I created an AHK script for my DAW which selects notes and copies all necessary information,
but it takes very long and is not that reliable!

I also have MixMaster, but there I cannot copy/export anything to text.

The last tool found is some really old DOS tool, which did not work on Windows 10.

P.S: Could I also manage it with an HEX editor or do some binary file read with AHK?

Thanks for any help!

Try GnMidi it is freeware

Why don't you use sequencer software
Go to the piano track editor
The notes are displayed as black  stripes
You can alter the lengt, startpoint, the tone pitch or paint new notes

Xenon,

MixMaster -> ListView -> In event type select Note Events -> in Channel select the channels you want. -> Update
In the DataList select the notes you want to put into text -> Menu Edit -> Copy selected event listings to clipboard
Open Notepad and do a Paste.

In attachment an example of the result

Regards
Etienne

GnMidi is freeware? I thought the demo version was free but you must buy a license for the full, registered version? Mind you, it's very inexpensive-- but not free, is it?

Janus

Try to find an old version these versions are free
I use this for almost 10 years

Thank you for your great support!

Funny, I work with the ListView of MixMaster quiet often (e.g. to change channels using an AHK script),
and also tried copying events (Ctrl+C), but nothing happened when pasting it in an editor.
I thought "Copy selected Event Listings to Clipboard" was the same as Ctrl+C, but I was wrong :o
So for my purposes MixMaster should be fully enough.

P.S: I will keep GnMidi in mind, though.

Best regards!
