CAN I CONVERT A TYPE 1 TO TYPE 0 MIDI FILE OR VICE-VERSA?
Yes, you can. A lot of sequencing programs allow you to choose the file format as part of the “Save as” operation. Sometimes, as in Cakewalk, you will find this under “Options” in the “Save” or “Save As” dialog box. So opening the file using your sequencing program and saving in the desired format is one method of converting formats. There are also utilities that will translate between MIDI file formats for you. A shareware utility, GNMIDI, which does FAR MORE than file format conversion, may be found at the excellent Günter Nagler’s MIDI Utilities site which is full of great free and shareware utilities for MIDI fans.
