Short usage file for timsplit.py.
|
|
|
|
This program is used to create a set of wav tracks from a MMA
|
|
input file. You need MMA, the input file and timidity.
|
|
The command:
|
|
|
|
timsplit.py somefile.mma
|
|
|
|
will determine the tracks in the MMA file, create temporary MIDIs for
|
|
each track and then wav files using timidity.
|
|
|
|
Also created is a mix file with all the tracks. This is called "bg.wav".
|
|
It is a mono file to save on some transfer times between the computer
|
|
and the recorder. Change if you want.
|
|
|
|
Conversion takes a few minutes, depending on the soundfont you're using
|
|
and the size of the MIDI file. Be patient.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is a total re-write of the original program. It now
|
|
uses the new -T option in MMA to limit the track generation.
|
|
|
|
The nice thing about this new timsplit is that it will split percussion tracks.

I've had good success with the following:
|
|
|
|
1. use timsplit with a decent soundfont to create tracks,
|
|
2. use timidity to create a mix track of the mma file,
|
|
3. copy the mix to my Zoom H4 recorder into a project file,
|
|
4. play/create lots of sax tracks while listening to the mix (4 track mode on the H4),
|
|
5. copy the sax tracks the split tracks from (1) into audacity,
|
|
6. edit the tracks,
|
|
7. publish the song and become rich and famous!
