Midi/Soundfont-rip by deronfun at 10:01 AM EDT on May 25, 2008
Hello Guys! I wanted to ask, if there is any method to rip the midis and/or the soundfont from brstm/dsp/ish/ast...-files. I searched for a long time with google, but I didn't find something helpful. So, does anyone can help me?
No. Deronfun specifically asked about turning streamed files (WAV, MP3, ADX, FLAC, BRSTM, DSP, ISH, AST) into MIDI files, which can't be done. Then you came in and said that Animal Crossing for the GC is sequenced. While true, that has nothing to do with the original post at all. They didn't ask about Animal Crossing, they made no reference to Animal Crossing, and they didn't even unintentionally imply Animal Crossing in anyway whatsoever. You mentioning had completely and entirely no relevance at all.
It's like this: Someone goes to a fast food place and asks for a hamburger. You'd reply with "Asphalt and Choo Choo trains have one thing in common. They're both used for transportation." That has absolutely nothing to do with asking for a hamburger. Though, being fast food, it's likely that it's near (or on) a road, and thus it does have a *slight* (though completely wrong) relation.
Please, think before you type. Mouser X over and out.
There's programs that can recognise audio material and convert it to MIDI data - WIDI, Digital Ear, also I suppose Melodyne works on similar principles too even if it's not exactly converting to MIDI. Whether the results are good is arguable, although I've seen some practical application for doing them, and particularly for solo tracks it can work quite well, even if all the generated notes will be way off the barlines.
SoundFonts are another matter - impossible, because you'd be asking it to separate out different instrumental lines and trim some samples to play the generated notes back with. The best AUDIO -> MIDI can do in most cases is take the overall audio signal, and bung a load of generated notes onto a single instrument channel.
