Rosegarden works too, buts it's way overkill for this task.
Turns out I was being stupid though. KeyKit will output format 1 midi
files if there is more than 1 track in the Group tool.
Does anyone know how to convert a MIDI file from
format 0 to 1?
KeyKit produces the former, seq24 can apparently read the latter. I
want to get sequences I generate in KeyKit into seq24.
A command line tool would be best, but any suggestions are welcome.
from the any-suggestions-are-welcome-dept. ;)
perhaps a bit offtopic and overkill, but my qtractor already can do this
although with some limitations.
the simple recipe is setting midi capture/export option to SMF format 1
(as is the default btw) and then you can import any of your existing
midi files (either format 0 or 1) into tracks and then export the
session into a new file which will be in the desired format, of course.
limitations are such there's no current support for tempo map, so your
resulting file will have a fixed and single tempo. ah, and the midi
export function is only available since last couple of weeks from
qtractor CVS :)...

just my 2cents
