Pitch Bend Sensitivity isn't defined #1

Open internetakias opened 6 years ago

internetakias commented 6 years ago

Hello, I've been noticing that some of the midi conversions this tool produces contain pitch bends that sound off. After tinkering around a bit, I can conclude it's because some tracks appear to use a pitch bend sensitivity higher than 2 (the default for midi files), usually 12, and since this tool doesn't set pitch bend sensitivity at all, the pitch bends end up sounding incorrect. Of course, I've also run into tracks that sound just fine with a sensitivity of 2, so either there's an event in the seq file that sets it, or it's driver specific.

Below I've included 3 tracks from 3 different games, two of which (YU-NO and Kakyuusei) seem to use 12 for sensitivity and, lastly, a track from Desire, which seems to use 2 instead: ssf samples.zip

The archive contains the original sequence, an ssf file and a midi & sf2 pair. (The midis were created with this tool, but the sf2 was made with sgconv and doesn't sound entirely correct. Sorry for that.)

Thanks.

Hello internetakias. On what os do you star this convertor ?
On my Windows 7 x64 it's not working.

When i start exe appears message "the version of this file is not compatible with the version o windows you're running, check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version o the program, and then contact the software publisher."

I want to convert saturn ssf music file to midi. Maybe you can advise me another way for convert.
