Abstract
A system and method for translating MIDI files is used with a sequencer and synthesizer. When a MIDI file is imported into a system, the file is scanned and voice assignment information extracted. This information is stored in a converted file. If desired, the extracted information can be stored using MIDI system exclusives. This allows either any original program change information, or the extracted information, to be used during a performance of the converted MIDI file.
