Screencast: Batch Conversion Tool for TFI Instruments to GenMDM Patches

I made a batch conversion tool for converting many TFI FM instrument files to GENM instrument patches. Each TFI instrument file is just for a single instrument setting. GenMDM file patches are for up to 128 instruments per file. This allows for the conversion of the instruments from whole game sound tracks for convenient use with GenMDM.

You can download this tool here:

Sceencast: Prototype VGM Data Capture Tool for GenMDM

// GDAY M8s //

VGM files are files that contain register data for one or more sound chips. I've made a small app that records ALL GenMDM data register writes, and stores them as a .VGM file.

The idea is that SEGA Mega Drive music can be written using GenMDM + Live / Logic / ProTools / whatever and then distributed via .VGM files if desired as opposed to recording from hardware. 

For my own reference: 

• YM2612 register data is sent via MIDI CC,  as follows: 

• CC Number = address & 0x7E

• CC Value = data & 0x7E

• MIDI Channel = address & 0x80 >> 5 | data & 0x80 >> 6 |  page_number;

• i.e: B10110adp, B0aaaaaaaa, B0ddddddd

• SN76489 register data is sent via MIDI CC, as follows: 

• CC Number = data & 0x80 >> 1

• CC Value = data & 0x7E

• MIDI channel = B00001000

• i.e. B10111000, Bd0000000, B0ddddddd
