But I have some data in the proprietary format of the

software too).
Just for curiosity's sake, I'd like to get a couple of those files converted to
standard MIDI format, and try to listen to 'em using PC51 soundfont in fluidsynth, for
instance, and all the other wonderful modern tools of linux goodness.
Any ideas how to do that? Short of buying an old Atari ST and the SMPTETrack dongle on
EBay? This is only a mild curiosity and probably not worth spending money (or even much
more time than an hour or so).
Maybe XSteem can help ?

Might not be what you want if that dongle's an absolute necessity.
