I'm trying to convert a standard MIDI file, format 1 (from seq24) to text. I need to
grab the note numbers for a drum track, and compare that to a tapeutape XML file, so that
I can figure out which Freesound samples I actually used in this track, so I can credit
them appropriately as required by the CC Sampling license.
I looked at midi.el, which seemed like it'd be perfect, but it won't open SMF 1
format files from seq24 at all (says it's not a valid MIDI file). It also has trouble
with SMF 1 files from arecordmidi, though it reads SMF 0 files from arecordmidi with no
problems.
I also looked around at some Python MIDI libraries, but didn't find the documentation
too accessible.
Any quick one-liner in some command-line tool or language to give me a printout of all the
MIDI notes used in each track of a SMF 1 MIDI file from seq24?
