okay bestie, so this lil cutie lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's here to turn your MIDI files into something MMA can actually read. that's the whole gig. slay.

✨ NAME ✨

mma-mnx — Convert MIDI file to MMA-readable form 🎹

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mma-mnx <somefile.mid>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: you've got a MIDI file, right? and you want the note data and all the other goodies inside it, but formatted in a way that the MMA MidiNote command will actually understand. that's literally what this program does. it's giving translator. it's giving bridge between worlds. 🔥

if you just run the program on a file — like, no extra options, no nothing — you will get a report as to the number of channels in the file, etc. just a lil vibe check on your MIDI file. informative. cute. we love a preview.

but to actually extract data, you use the -c option, stating the MIDI channel for the data to extract. and heads up bestie, because this part matters: Pitch Bend, Controller and Channel Aftertouch data will be printed for the specified channel. yes, all of that. she's thorough. 💅

save using redirect if you want — like, that's fully up to you, no pressure, live your truth.

and then? you can now use your favorite editor to import the data to your mma file. so easy. so iconic. periodt. ✨
