I carefully examined the original Japanese text in Rxo Inverse's OrgMaker 2, and updated Xaser's English conversion of OrgMaker 2. I've never studied Japanese, but by using Google Translate to break and rejoin words in the translation, I believe I've gotten good translations. org205xb.zip Main...

When testing the ORG to TXT conversion, I noticed the following problems: The Org version number in the ORG file seems to be ignored, the text file always says the Org version is 2, even if the new OrgMaker 2 drums are used. (When you use the new drums in OrgMaker 2, it saves the file with...

Version 0.81 released: I fixed a bug that caused multiple Note Off events at the beginning of the first melody track in certain cases. (Many unneeded Note Off events caused Media Player mplay32.exe to play the first note with wrong timing.)

Here's the ORG to MIDI converter I've been working on: ORGMID. ORGMID is a command line program. Call it with the name of an ORG file to read and the name of a MID file to create: orgmid in.org out.mid ORGMID doesn't choose melodic MIDI instruments for you. All the melody instruments in the...

Pier Walk is also available on the Cave Story Tribute Site music page, under the Unreleased Tracks section. Using my own ORG to MID converter, I converted the ORG notes to MIDI, then manually chose appropriate sounding MIDI instruments: Pier_Walk.mid

I ran into a similar problem the other way around. I wanted to map OrgMaker instruments to MIDI instruments. I eventually gave up trying to make a one-size-fits-all mapping, and decided to carefully listen and choose matching instruments by trial and error each time. But while I was trying to...

Thanks, fixed.

Actually, I sort of simulated this idea already, it sounded a little bit better, but OrgMaker still sounds better. The melody in Artic Folic is mostly in OrgMaker octave 4, some in octave 5. If my theories from interpeting my tests are correct, OrgMaker only uses all 256 source points of an...

In the silent parts of my recordings, it squiggles tiny amounts around zero, so I think my sound card really is recording an analog version of the signal. Either way, I now agree the larger squiggles we see before and after the descending section in that test wave may be interpoloation. When I...

I've only tested on the two sound cards on my computer. It may be OrgMaker just giving a volume level to DirectX and then DirectX is somehow deciding what amplitude to output? I don't know if the amplitudes might vary if there's a different DirectX version installed. I tried to explain the steps...

I posted some of my measurements and examinations of the sounds OrgMaker makes: OrgMaker Notes.

Pi and Freq When I examined what recordings of melodic OrgMaker notes looked like in Audacity, I found that when the Pi (short for pizzicato?) checkbox is enabled, OrgMaker outputs a specific number of wave periods in each OrgMaker octave. OrgMaker octave periods ======= ======= 0 4...

When you compose in OrgMaker version 2: * If you only use drums available in OrgMaker version 1 (Bass01 to Tom02), the file will begin with "Org-02". * If you use any drums that are new in OrgMaker version 2 (Bass04 to Cat), the file will begin with "Org-03".

Perhaps whoever originally recorded the MP3 may have recorded it from OrgMaker. That is, if an out-of-tune OrgMaker playback was recorded into an MP3, then the MP3 is just playing back what it recorded. (That is, perhaps the MP3s are recordings of out-of-tune music and play back the same way...

I'm using Windows XP. When playing orgs in OrgMaker, I've found some Audio Performance settings* can cause notes to be slightly out of tune. (See OrgMaker Notes - Audio Performance settings.) Perhaps the MP3s were recorded on a system experiencing the same thing. * Control Panel -> Sounds and...

I don't use Macs often, but I'm pretty sure it is a system font, I recognize it from like the first Mac ever. Some Googling suggests it's a "bitmapped" version of Monaco. It looks like it matches the picture of "Monaco 9" shown here. Edit: See also brief font samples at Wikipedia's Fonts of...

D'oh. When you use the SeaTone pusher.exe to extract the sounds from Cave Story, the drum sounds are 96, 97, 98, 99, 9a, and 9b. (Windows sorts the 9a and 9b filenames after the 08 filename, so I didn't see them at first.) After I noticed Cave Story didn't have wav resources for the drums like...

Did you know that in default message boxes in Windows, you can press Ctrl+C to copy the text? I did that to copy the text of the message boxes produced from the Unknown (R) -> Unknown (M) command. I pasted the text in Notepad and saved it. Then I opened the text file in Internet Explorer...

When converting the tempo, you should only calculate BPM for display purposes. MIDI files store the tempo as microseconds per quarter note. x = milliseconds per OrgMaker step (the OrgMaker "wait" or "tempo" value) y = microseconds per quarter note If you want the OrgMaker step to be a... then...
