I've gotten it into my head to try to try to
decode some files from 30
years ago and see if I can extract enough MIDI -- and perhaps,
instrument modifications -- to be able to approximately recreate the
audio on Linux.
The files were created from a program I wrote and have
long since
forgotten. Using the old Korg M1 manual, helpfully scanned in by Korg,
I've been able to determine that most of the files start with the
"exclusive header" and can be categorized as to which type of dump
they are. From there, I should be able to break apart the data.
However, I have a several files with the extension
".sng", which would
suggest "song"
I found these notes from someone who worked on a similar task:
