Midicat

Midicat is a simple command line tool designed to concatenate midi files to a medley.
Here are some key features of "Midicat":
ï¿­ reads binary midi files (format 0 or 1)
ï¿­ writes a binary midi file (format 0)
ï¿­ converts midi time unit resolution to a common multiplier resolution
ï¿­ initializes tempo, tact, programs, volumes, chorus, reverb effects, balance, use of the initializing is optimized to reduce time necessary for initialization
ï¿­ adds a text marker in front beginning of a song
ï¿­ optionally insert pauses between the songs (in quarternotes or rational e.g. 3/8)
ï¿­ generates format 0 midi file to reduce number of tracks (in format 1 the number of tracks would grow quickly and many players have a track imitation (e.g. 16 tracks)
ï¿­ combine 2 up to 50 songs
I am using a Korg i3 music workstation and sometimes I sequence midi songs.
Once I sequenced a series of short xmas melodies and had the trouble to put the songs together to one xmas medley. This time I did it manually and it took much time to concatenate the songs. This brought me to the thought to write a simple midi utility that does this job without much effort.Originally only format 0 files were accepted, now it also can read format 1 file.
