Hi,
i request your help because i'm working for create a music for Genesis with MVS Tracker.

i have my music in *.mid and i want to rewrite it with MVST.
but the instrument is an Orchestral harp , and MVST haven't it..

i have seen we can make instrument with MVS but do you know where i can find info about :

-Detune , Multiple , Total level , Attack etc...

Just Google for 'FM synthesis', it does not matter for Genesis or not, the basic principles are all the same.

Edit: there is very nice video about FM synthesis basics.

ok first thanks for your help and the speed

but I just need the value.

i think they are website or readme or tools which contain all midi instrument and info about it ? ( number for attack etc.. )

no ?

You can do a lot of variants of harp with FM. There is no the only possible set of settings for harp.

If you want to see some ready-made instruments, get VOPM and some VSTi host, run it, and check GM preset from /tone/.

ok but i have a question.

do you know a program who can open my *.mid files and tell me the instrument ( Soft Harp) and his configuration ?

excuse me but i am a beginner for coding music in Megadrive with a tracker.

MIDI files do not contain anything regarding instrument itself, only a command that tells your MIDI playback hard/software that load this patch... different MIDI devices have different sounds.

You can create a harp sound out of a guitar quite easily, just some TL tweaking is needed, and maybe some MUL adjusts too.

ok thanks for your help but i have a bug with MVS tracker!
when i save my song , and close the program if i re-open my saved sond, all of my sound is # uped , for exemple:

before closing:





when i re-open my *.mus file



i have tested it with 3 différent PC one with XP , other 98 and last Seven.

it's a bug ?

Well, probably it is a bug. You know, not many people use this tool these days. Do you use the Kandeda's version (MVSTracker Suite)?

ok.
yes i use Kaneda's MVST Tracker's suite.

i search a tracker which can export sound in binary file ( or other file) for add it easily with the Stef's Gendev.

thanks for your help Shiru

Well, how about my tracker then? It supports FM part only. There is replayer code in C - I'd say it is easy: include, and three calls (init, play, update). It was used in few SMD projects sucessfully, including games.

ok i will test it for write my music.
Thanks for your help Shiru's

yep, a lot of people is using Shiru's tracker. It's why I don't bother to update MVST anymore.
You should try it instead.
