3647.0. "SMUS ---> MIDI?" by ENOVAX::BARRETT (Lean, Green, and on the screen) Tue Apr 03 1990 17:12

    I'm really posting this for someone else, but does anyone know of a
    program/methos of converting SMUS files into straight MIDI
    communications?

    Music-X can read SMUS files, and can send the resulting notes out to
    MIDI devices.  Is that what you want?

    music x is hundreds of dollars.
    deluxe music can also read smus and play it.
    I also need an smus to midi file converter and may have to write it
    myself.  because if dmcs doesn't last much longer, I don't want to be
    stuck with non compatiable files.
    dmcs can save a priavte formate or smus format.
    I will start by saving all my files smus.  Then I will consider the
    options for going to mid if
    midi file format.

3647.3SMUS problemsSAUTER::SAUTERJohn SauterWed Apr 04 1990 10:208
    DMCS isn't perfectly reliable at saving a song in SMUS format.  It gets
    an error, for example, trying to save a complex song called
    "1812_overture".  Also, SMUS loses a lot of information that the
    private format retains, such as slurs.
    
    It might be better to play the DMCS music into a stand-alone sequencer,
    then play the sequencer back into Music-X, Dr. T, or whatever.
