Author Topic: midi file hex editor

hi

I am looking for a text editor type of app that would let me open and create .mid files, and has some midi oriented functions (so there would be a benefit compared to a standard hex editor).
goal is to be able to mess around with system exclusive (non-channel type) midi messages.

looked at midi assembler/disassembler, best I've found so far

any ideas?

thanks.

GNU Emacs (free) + O'Reilly's "Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" (the giraffe book, about US$30).

I don't want to give the wrong impression here. It's definitely not a ready-made solution, just an excellent text editor that's almost infinitely customizable. You (or amiga909) would still have to learn enough Lisp to write an Emacs extension that would do what you want. Not a quick or easy thing. But it would be entirely under your control, and would look and act exactly as you prefer.

I also use the borg assembler/disassembler but I find it chokes up on extremely complex patterns and can actually output incorrect info if it buffers MIDI in error. I'm always looking for new MIDI tools JIC Wink.

BTW amiga I belive that MIDIox can output any sysex or maybe it was Hubi's loopback engine I'll have to look into it to be 100%.

what I need: no sysex utility to send/receive. rather an app that lets me edit .mid/.syx files in the most flexible way - from low level hex input to high level midi message.

tkx Meffy: I'll check this option. problem: never did Lisp (only a bit Prolog).
would surely be powerful enough for what I am looking for:)


had no time to check this out:
