MIDITRIM

MIDITRIM is a simple tool designed to help you remove pauses at beginning or end of a midi file.
Here are some key features of "MIDITRIM":
ï¿­ reads a binary midi file
ï¿­ writes a binary midi file
ï¿­ removes delays at beginning and end of midi song
ï¿­ reduces time between events that are before first note and after last relevant note event
ï¿­ can trim pauses at start, at end or at both sides
Some midi files have long starting time and that only because of delays entered by author or its sequencer. Also at end of midifiles sometimes are large delays where no notes are played until the midi song is finished.
This is no problem if using an interactive midi player where you can manually skip a part of a midi or stop the song to start the next one in playing list.
But if it is wanted that the song list plays without interaction it is annoying if there are midi files in the list that contain a delay that is not part of music.
This program reads a midi file (format 0 or 1) and searches the points where music stars playing and music finishes. If there are mute delays at start or at the end of the song the program produces a midi files that doesnt contain these delays.
The program cannot remove delays that are inside the song, which could
be midi file errors or sequencing failure.
