In the description of this importer i have seen something about changing one track/sequence in game to the track you import. Does it mean it is impossible to add one without loosing some of the ones previously in game?

Actually, forget it, I came to my decision.
Enjoy this little chunk of a piece, regardless. I'm making a full music hack of SM64 using various Zelda songs. I've been working on it for a month, and while I would like to finish it tomorrow, I doubt it'll be done until next week.

But one can hope!

Yes, currently it only replaces existing tracks. Future versions of the "sequence inserter" will support inserting up to 127 sequences (and selecting which instrument set the will use) by patching a few hacks to the ROM.

RDX: Cool project

Try The MainTheme on Bomb-omb Battlefield, it really works good!

Actually I finished yesterday after dedicating quite a few hours to getting it done. I felt very nerdy, yet proud, once I finished

I just need to upload the ppf patch and then I'll get Part 1 out in a couple of hours. I'll edit in the link to the video once I'm done with it.

BTW, Messiaen - Just in case if you still don't know, because in the readme it's labeled with a "?" mark, sequence 27 is the sound that's made when you solve a puzzle. Like, when you pound in the log holding the Chain Chomp in Bob-Omb Battlefield, or when you kill the big boo in the Castle Courtyard.

RDX:

That's a cute tune! What music did you replace with this?

From the "Thank you so much for playing my game", I guess that credits song?

Sorry to bump this, but I have a problem.

I'm trying to import a song, but unfortunatly, it wasn't meant to loop, and one channel is shorter than all the others. I don't know the MML format, so how can I get it so a channel wont repeat early?

It needs to be run in DOS. Check out the following video for more info.

If you want the entire song not to loop, open the .mml file with a text editor and add ?0 in the first line.

By the way, when a track is shorter than others, the loop won't start until all tracks are over, so you shouldn't worry about that.

Hmmm. In my port, it sounds like one track repeats early... Maybe it's just the instruments or something.

Is the Mario/Zelda midi format a standard N64 format, or is it custom to these games? Wondering if I can reuse the logic for GoldenEye.

The standard formats are either MIDI or "compact MIDI", Mario/Zelda and almost all first-party Nintendo 64 games use a custom format, with some variants. So, unfortunately this program/format specification won't be of help

.

One way to check if the game uses the standard formats is to use IDA Pro 4.30 along with the UltraLib signatures and see if it finds the sequence player functions in the ROM.

Well, the plus side it that it is midi-like. Bad thing is seems they have some differences which are making this annoying. Thanks.

The 3mle program is really nice, but the mml variant is a bit different than the output produced from tinymm. Still, whenever I work again on mml2m64 I should try to add support for it, tinymm is way too buggy.

About the instruments, it's much more complex than. You should carefully read my last posts at the "Music Editing" thread.

If you want to track down the instruments and produce a list (that would be very useful), you should create a test sequence like this:



#1 @1

r1

o3

c4>c4>c4>c4



#2  @2

r1 r1 r1

o3

c4>c4>c4>c4>c4



#3  @3

r1 r1 r1 r1 r1

o3

c4>c4>c4>c4>c4

Got the logic?

It will play instrument #1 on the first channel on many octaves (some octaves won't sound depending on the sample), rest for a while, then play instrument #2 on channel 2 and so on.

Now you should play this sequence for all possible instrument sets (using the -all option of the sequence inserter) and you are ready to go. As stated in the Music Editing thread, SRip Control.h file will be very useful to know how many instruments there are in each set.
