1raster-tracker ORM format converter
========================================================================

You can convert MID files to 1raster-tracker v1.0 ORM format

or ORM files to SID-Wizard 1.x SWM format with this tool.

Additionally you can convert .S00 (VICE emulator sequential files) 
into plain .sid files.

Usage is simple, you can get help if you run ORMconvert without arguments:

Linux (command-line in this folder): 
./ORMconvert <inputfile> [outputfile]

Win (command-line in this folder):
ORMconvert.exe <inputfile> [outputfile]

Or you can copy these executable files into the system directories of
your OS to launch them from anywhere...


Restrictions: -Only the notes will come from MID files into the ORM tune.
              -The MIDI should be 4/4 time-signature, 2 quantized channels.
               (3rd channel is supported too but won't sound too good for
                notes. Anyway, channel 3 is specified for effects... ) 
              -Effects won't go from ORM to SWM, only wave-programs
               (they'll be converted into instruments)
              -Every ORM pattern will be converted to SWM as 32-row long

You can check out the conversion examples in this folder of README.txt


To compile the ORMconvert.c source code, you need to have gcc C-compiler
toolchain, and in this folder you should type at command-line:

gcc ORMconvert.c -o ORMconvert.exe -lm

(-lm is needed on some platforms to include the math library)
