Invalid MIDI files (MIDI with missing notes) sometimes happens when exporting as a MIDI. Does not happen when exported as seq and then converted. #116

I am not sure why but yeah I think something happens this for sure happens on the level Rock It in Crash 2. Also it seems when I do constitute the vab files that some levels and even the warp room in Crash 2 seems to be missign at least 1 or more instrument when I convert the vab to a sf2 (sountfont that is used with midi) and yes export midi should also somehow generate at least the vab file and use some sort of command line tool with crashedit in backgound to convert it to sf2 and delete the vab or save the vab and use https://github.com/vgmtrans/vgmtrans to convert it to sf2.

Known issue. Caused by the tempo change event.

AraHaan commented 8 years ago

hmm Also when I combined the VAB's it seems that in most files that some instruments are missing when I converted the VAB to sf2 and the seq to midi.

Attached are the original files I extracted/ the VAB I constututed with MadEdit: warp.zip

Also the resulting midi and sf2's from this: warp_converted.zip (note: converted files need XMPlay and the MIDI Input Plugin)

Change the volume of the samples.

In the future, this step won't be necessary. DLS export should change the volume automatically.
