midi translating software

by JNeo25 - 4/8/06 5:58 PM

hi, i am looking for any program that is capable of performing a very specific task. when i open a midi file with the program, i want it to show me which notes are being played, which sounds are being used, etc. are there any programs that can do that?

for example, if i open up a midi file for a piano song, i want it to show me, somehow (through some sort of user interface perhaps), the notes of the song.
so if i put in a midi song that plays mary had a little lamb, i should see
"E - D - C - D - E - E - EEE, ..." etc or something like that :b

You can use modplug Tracker.
It shows you the notes in a spreadsheet style window. it also will show you which instruments are being used.
I think more of what you are looking for is something that will do tabulature. but if you need any help setting up modplug (http://www.modplug.com) give me a holler at:

Melody and Harmony

There are a few good programs available. I use Melody Assistant and Harmony Assistant, which are avialable from http://www.myriad-online.com/. I provide a gratuitous copy of their banner page below...

--

Melody Assistant is dedicated to music writing, printing and rendering. Small by its price, but large by its capabilities, Melody Assistant will amaze you.

It is both:

A score editor with wide capabilities of notation
A digital synthesizer, providing quality music rendering, even without expensive hardware
A digital sound editor, to insert recorded instruments and digital audio tracks into your work.

A tablature editor, etc.
