Unofficial tool that converts Polyend Tracker *.mt project and *.mtp pattern files to midi files.

Project description

Polyend Tracker MIDI Export tool

MIDI conversion tool for Polyend Tracker project files written in Python.

If you just want to convert your Tracker project to MIDI you can use the Web Service: https://polyend-tracker-midi-export.onrender.com/

Disclaimer

I am in no way affiliated with Polyend. This is a hobby project.

Installation

pip install polyendtracker-midi-export

Usage

Polyend Tracker MIDI Export tool can be used as a command line utility or as a library that can be imported in your python projects.

Converting an entire Tracker project to MIDI

Just point the script to your project's directory:

$ polymidiexport ./my-tracker-project/ 

Alternatively point it to a project file:

$ polymidiexport ./my-tracker-project/project-file.mt 

Converting an individual Tracker pattern file to MIDI

Converting Polyend Tracker *.mtp pattern file to midi (pattern files are nested in project folders under patterns):

$ polymidiexport ./my-tracker-project/patterns/pattern_02.mtp 

Specifying custom output file name:

$ polymidiexport ./my-tracker-project/patterns/pattern_02.mtp ./my-midi-file.mid

Converting Polyend Tracker *.mtp pattern file to a text file (outputs a table view of the pattern similar to how you see it in Tracker UI):

:$ python polytracker2text.py ./my-tracker-project/patterns/pattern_02.mtp 

You can see an example of pattern text representation here

Usage in python projects

Import lib:

import polytrackermidi
from polytrackermidi.parsers import constants, project, patterns, arps, chords
from polytrackermidi.exporters import midi
